Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Anyway I have some questions that I was hoping some of you great people can help me with

Did you have to do a sleep study thing? If so why do we have to do it?

I'm from New York and am going threw this process with the oband center they have locations in Brooklyn and the city. I'm just wanted to know if people liked them and what their thoughts were about this place??

I'm still have some time to go before stuff gets submitted to my insurance just wanted some help. Have a great day

A sleep study was not required for me they would only do it if your doctor feels you have sleep apnea. I don't know about the center you are having it done at but I wouldnt worry about the sleep study.

It was not required for me since I had a BMI over 40 but if I had a 35-40 I would likely have to have it because you have to have 2 comorbidities for approval in that range

I had to do a sleep study because I exhibited symptoms of sleep apnea. I was fortunate to do an in-home study for 2 nights. I am not sure I would have been comfortable in a sleep clinic setting. It was a requirement for the AETNA policy I had at the time of surgery.

I think it's a requirement for me. The place is about 1 hour away from my house and it's from 9pm-5am. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to sleep either. My BMI is at 41. Oh well I guess I will do it and get over it ha. Thanks.

      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.
