My surgery lasted an hour and maybe 20 minutes but each can be a bit different. My surgeon said an hour is normal.

I had RNY I was in surgery for 3+ hours plus 2 hours in recovery. My surgeon described my surgery to my husband as having been completely textbook/routine/no surprises. I know he's a conservative doc, so it doesn't surprise me he took so long. I had told my husband to expect 1.5-2 hours.

      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.
