December Banders Where Are You?



Recommended Posts

Surgery was a breeze. Went into a cold room and took a little nap. Total trip took about 9 hours including the 3.5 in the car. Taking the pain meds and only Water today. Gas pain is real but tolerable.

Oh...it was today.

I mean 1.5 hrs one way. I'll be the first patient so my doctor said I should be out and home by noon.

My surgery was about 45 minutes. I spent about 2 hours in recovery then about 2 more in my room. Great experience and had a great medical team taking care of me.

Surgery went well. Got kept in overnight which I was thankful for.

The gas pain is worse than anything else. Think that's what's preventing me managing more liquids. At the moment making sure I get 1.5l of Water in throughout the day. I am managing 1 cup of Soup and half a shake roughly.

Does that sound about right? X

Thanks for letting me know. My surgery is scheduled on a Thursday because my bmi is over 50. The doctor told me is because I am at a higher risk for complications. If all goes well I will be leaving by 10

Hey there kiba78 we have the same date. I go in on the 17 and will stay overnight, but I think its required by the insurance or my doctor, or cuz its a center of excellence. I hope all is well and you have a successful surgery.

      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.
