How far along are u?

I just began the process. I met with the P.A and the nutritionist last week. I don't need to gave any other test done since I do not have any other health issues. I'm waiting for the psychologist to call back to schedule an appointment. I should hear this week about my first appointment with surgeon. From there as soon as I loose 5% they schedule the surgery. As long as I'm close to the 10% the surgery is done. My insurance company required a 6 month medically supervised diet. But since I did weight watchers and kept all JT weigh in stuff, they told me to submit it and they should except it. So if that's the case my case coordinator is pretty confident that ill be ready to go by July! How far along are you? I know a girl who had the bypass at St.Peters and loved her surgeon!

Wow that's awesome!! I can't wait to get it done!! What made you choose the sleeve over the bypass?

Honestly, I didn't want my insides rearranged if I didn't need to. The sleeve is just as successful and allows you to actually keep the nutrients you put in your body , unlike the bypass.

Just my opinion.

That's kindof what I was thinking too. I'm worried about the malnutrition and long term effects. That's why I chose to look into the sleeve instead. Well I hope everything goes smoothly for you! Keep me posted about your weight loss!!

I am from Clifton Park. Three Weeks Post Op. Had my follow up Tuesday. No problems. Blood pressure way down. 20 pounds lost since surgery. Am on soft foods starting today until 6/1. After that I can try anything. I do feel hunger. Have read that goes away after a while, hope so.

      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.
