Duno if anyone else attended a weight loss seminar but for those that did, how long roughy after the seminar did you get the surgery.

I have yet to go to the seminar but really nervous/exited about my new life ahead xx

My insurance required a six months diet period with my pcp- so after paperwork, I waited 7 months after I attended a seminar.

My seminar was in May, my first visit was June 9 and I was approved Aug 9. It all depends on your insurance company's requirements.

My seminar was last September and Surgery is scheduled for this Sept. 11th. My insurance had specific requirements so it took longer. Good luck to you, hope it goes quick!

Seminar in July, Surgery in September. From first appointment to surgery date about 60 days... but I was Really ready and VERY persistent... I probably drove the staff at the clinic nuts with all of my checking in and following up, but it's my health and I chose to take charge As my PCP said, they don't know who they're dealing with... :) (I should also add that I was always polite, upbeat and complimentary to the staff too...You have to balance persistence with being nice!)

      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.
