I got approved through my insurance and I have my consult with the surgeon Wednesday. What time frame is everyone seeing from now until the surgery is scheduled? Does it depend on the surgeon?

Thanks!!

Congratulations! So happy for you.

After I got approved it took me about a month to see my doctor. I consulted with him which then he put me on a two week diet. This involved me eating 2 meals (Protein and veggies) and two Protein shakes. After that two week period I had my surgery the very next day.

Wish you the best of luck!

*Also it does very well depend on your surgeon!

Some people have had to go on the pre-op diet for a month, 2 weeks, or even 2 days.

Congrats!!

I think it depends on the surgeon. Mine said since many people try to get their surgery in before the end of the year, he opens his schedule up to accommodate.

I was approved a couple weeks ago, and met with my surgeon last week - got my surgery date during my consult with him. I purposely chose the last week of the year, but bet I could have had mine scheduled before Thanksgiving. Mine doesn't require a long preop liquid diet - just one day.

      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...

        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.
