CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DAD'S weight loss. I'd be super proud too!

Can I please ask What happened? Were there complications with VSG or was it unrelated?

It was complications with his sleeve. Two days post op they found 2 pin holes in his stomach. He had gone septic and was on life support for 3 weeks. After he was released from the hospital he was so weak and could barely walk he also had a feeding tube in his nose for two months post op. he had at least 15 surgeries due to them trying to fix the leaks. He had stints and pig cells put inside to help heal...now he is great :) thank god!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
