Dr. Alexander Nagle at Northwestern University Hospital take Medicaid. I have went to the seminar and met with Dr. Nagle and the nutritionist last week. Meet with the psychiatrist next week. The Dr. says that I should be approved by April. Supposedly, Medicaid processes their paperwork quicker than other insurances.

I am going to my last appointment with Dr. Nagle on April 15th. He told me that after the last appointment it should take two weeks to get the surgery approved. Hopefully I will be having my surgery in May.

You can call Dr. Nagle's office and make a reservation for a weight loss surgery seminar.

You can do a search for Northwestern Bariatric and find more info. The number is:

      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.
