After quite a few years of wanting to have weight loss surgery I've finally gotten health insurance that will cover it. I have an appointment with my PCP Thursday and an info session for the surgery the following week. I don't know what to expect. Admittedly I'm a little nervous.

I remember feeling exactly the same, I have been wanting to get surgery for a couple of years and put it off because of fear. But now I have made up my mind and decide that this is the right thing to do and I'm willing to do it to get my life back. My surgery is set for Oct 23rd nervous and waiting!!!

You are going to be fine blueshea and you came to the right place to find out more!! Doing as much research as possible is the key. Youtube is also a good resource as well. Not to self promote, but Im 5 weeks out and have been chronicling my journey on youtube as well. Posted a video last week on what I wish I had known before surgery- check it out. I'm under 1gorgeousgodzilla. Best of luck to you!

      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...

        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.
