26, newbie...gastric bypass at sinai baltimore md



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here and new to the process. I have my first consult appt with the surgeon at Sinai hospital of Baltimore, dr Li. I am leaning heavily towards gastric bypass vs my other options. Just looking for some advice, a pen pal, and some insight into the process. Thanks so much :)

Hi! I just turned 27 and my surgery is on Tuesday! Welcome to the forum. I'm still pretty new here too. If you have any specific questions I'll be happy to try and answer them for you.

I'm in Frederick MD. My surgeon is in NoVa but I'm only 2 weeks into the process. I walked into the office sure I was going to have a sleeve, but now I'm set on the bypass. My surgeon talked about the pros/cons to bypass and sleeve and let me pick. He was leaning toward BP and I ended up there with him.

      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.
