Who's having surgery the week of 9/21?



Recommended Posts

I started my 6-month appointments on 4/1 and finished them on 9/8. At that appointment, the surgical coordinator at my doc's office scheduled surgery for 9/24. He then submitted the paperwork for approval from the insurance company. Got a call today that the insurance company approved the surgery - so I'm all set for next Thursday. I've been on a liquid diet since 9/10 and so far, so good - though I know I'm not getting close to my 1,000 calories in. Honestly, it's all happening so quickly that I'm waiting for a monkey wrench to play into the mix.

I'm excited/nervous/etc. Who's having surgery with me next week and where are you located? I'm having my surgery at NYU in NYC.

I have to push mine off. I had an endoscopy today and my stomach and esophagus are filled with ulcers. I'd rather be healthy than have more of a risk - so I'll wait patiently. :)

Surgery scheduled 9/22! The liquid diet is a beast, getting a little easier, and today when I weighed in at my pre-op visit I was down 6 pounds from last week. Hanging in there, only a few more days to go!

Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment and surgery is Tuesday the 22nd. I'm so ready and excited but a little nervous. I'm finally going to start a new chapter of living a healthy lifestyle. Please keep me in your prayers..

      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.
