Did the upper Gi/ swallow test. It went well- no leaks. The stuff they make u swallow is Nasty. I threw up after. They brought me broth, Jello and crystal light. The broth I could get down but felt every bit of it go in my swollen stomach. Ouch!! I took small sips from a baby spoon. The rest was too sweet so just doing ice chips.

Hello

I was told they try to vacuum out as much air as they can out of your stomach. Cause they put air into to see where to staple along. Is this correct? Do all surgeons vacuum the air out? Hmmm Just some things I don't know.

      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.
