Recommended Posts

Ok. That's what he said $600.00 but everything else was covered. I already had two required appt scheduled for this month. Dr. Patel was so nice and went over everything. His staff was very nice as well. I just wish I would of done this sooner because I do all the running around with my children for sports.

Did you have to fast for pre op?

Yes I did but truthfully I got to wear the liquid diet was not bad I never felt hungry. So the 12 hours before surget was no big deal I recommend premier Protein shake a when they start your pre diet it's important to loose as much as possible before surgery so that the liver is smaller
I do have a fatty liver so I know I probably will have to fast also. Did you have to do a sleep study?

Hey all! Getting closer to the big day. Just curious, how long did it take to get the approval?

I used Dr Felix Geller for psyche. Had to pay because HNJH doesn't cover psyche. My nutritionist was Dr Fried. He's covered under HNJH, but didn't really give me any info regarding nutrition. I am now three days post op. Feeling ok. It was pretty easy to get approved. I think I might be the only one that checks this forum now. I'm answering my own questions!

      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.
