Surgery scheduled!



Recommended Posts

Went today for my final preop appt and got the date set for October 31! I'm also having gallbladder surgery the same day so I get to hit the liver reduction diet even harder.

Glad to be in the final stretch!

Best wishes Daron! I too was as BSNC, but due to insurance requirement I ended up having to transfer to Duke in month 5 of my 6 month pre-op wait. Very, very frustrating but I'm keeping my weight/bmi checks with BSNC b/c I was already scheduled with them and to keep all the paperwork consistent. I was with Dr. Bruce. My last visit with them in Oct 17th and then I'll fax my last ppwk to duke that afternoon and hope they can submit to insurance beginning of that next week so I can get on the books!

I'm hoping to be sleeved no later than Nov. 22nd b/c that's when all my labs/work-ups I did with BSNC expire (I read somewhere about a 6 month validation).

My surgery is November 3rd and I am also having my gallbladder removed as well as having a hiatal hernia repaired. I started this process almost a year ago and I am so happy to finally be in the home stretch. Best of luck to you in your surgery!

      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.
