Today is surgery day"



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and go in for my lapband surgery in about 3 hours(ahh!!). I am getting scared about the actual surgery but I'm so happy to finally be getting this. I have been overweight my whole life and always struggled to lose. If anyone has any good advice or just some words of wisdom, I would greatly appreciate it. Take care! :)

How are you doing?

To be honest, I'm struggling. My stomach feels upset and my chest hurts like something is stuck. I had to call the nurse practitioner last night and she called in something for nausea. But I'm just over-all miserable :( I hope it will pass.

Thank you so much. I can't wait to get this feeling out of my chest. The gas-x doesn't help and I just don't know what else to do :-/

      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.
