First Consultation with Surgeon Jan. 24th



Recommended Posts

I go for my first consultation with the surgeon the 30th. My BMI barely qualifies me for surgery but i have high blood pressure and high cholesterol also...plus low thyroid. Would love to hear what your first consultation with your surgeon was like? Silly that i'm so nervous about it :)

Mine was preceded by a one on one seminar with the bariatric nurse, so she answered most of my questions. When he walked in he went through my medical history, overview the options of surgery, brief explanation of hospital stay and life after, and then a brief physical exam.

I almost felt, okay I did feel, like the surgeons visit was just a technicality....just the last thing that had to be checked off a list....I think his nurse and coordinator know my entire life history and are my true heroes!!

      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.
