Finally started the process



Recommended Posts

I had my consult with surgeon last month, along with my first of 6mnths diet. 2nd diet appt is 11/22..had lab work, pulmonary test, Upper GI completed this week. My next move is to inform my PCP of my plans. If he gives me any issues whatsoever, unfortunately he will be dismissed. I really don't need anyone negative attitude. It was hard enough for me to come to the conclusion I wanted to have WLS. Looking forward to hopefully April/May 2014 if God willing insurance approves. Anyone nervous and excited all at the same time?

I think your PCP is going to be happy for you. He/she knows it isn't healthy for you to be overweight so I think everything will go fine. Keep us posted on what your PCP says.

      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.
