60 days left until I get sleeved. I have 1 more nutritional visit, psych and regular doc visit. Went through insurance benefit verification. Just waiting to begin my transformation. I feel like I have researched my doctor good enough. I really just wonder why some people don't loose?

I'm in Houston as well, welcome! I'll be 13 months post op on the 11th....

You have to remember the surgery is a tool....and a tool is only as good as its user.....or the tool could not be right for the job, thus the reason why I had revision from lapband to sleeve...

Houston here also

My final dr appointment was spent talking solely about changing my eating habits and exercising she told me they've had sleeve and bypass patients come back and ask for bands because they changed none of their behavior post sleeve and lost no weight I think alot of us (obesity people)think all we have to do is get the surgery and the weight will fall off we forget all the work we have to do to make it happen

I'm ok...my weightloss has slowed down ALOT since the beginning, so I have to really pay attention to what I eat and how much I exercise....but other than that, no regrets

Im new and haven't found the intro section but I'm using Dr. Carlos Ferrari in Memorial City. So far everything has gone incredibly smooth. My pre op visit is the 19th and my surgery is scheduled for the 25th. I have Aetna and my pre op insurance requirements were three months supervised diet and a dietitian visit.

      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.
