My original surgery date was April 1st --- which is funny, because it did end up being an April Fools joke. Half way through the pre-op diet and one week prior to surgery, we found out that my insurance had an exclusion for out-of-network bariatric services. EIGHT MONTHS I had been with this surgery group and we find out just days before the date. It was like being pregnant for 8 1/2 months, buying new nursery items, changing my diet, going to a zillion check-ups only to be told "Actually, you're not having a baby after all". Anyway, the very same day I contacted an in-network provider and my surgery has been re-scheduled almost one month to the day of the original date.

All things happen for a reason! I have my pre-op appointment this afternoon, and I'm getting REALLY excited!!

I am glad everything worked out ok.

Just think of the additional small wait as time to do a little more preparing for the VSG and the new you.

I'm glad they rescheduled it.

I meant I'm glad that they could reschedule it.

      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.
