I got word from Aetna that I am approved after only 6 days! I was worried it would take alot longer or something would be wrong. Now, next Tuesday 16th I have my pre surgery testing, upper GI, EKG, bloodwork and Xray. If all of those come back fine, I will finally be scheduled for surgery. I'm hoping for the week of May 6th or 13th. I started this journey in November of last year with an information session at the South Mississippi Surgical Weight Loss Center in Ocean Springs. Everyone there has been remarkable. I'm so excited but also terrified, the surgery is real now, if that makes any sense.

      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.
