Nope. Mine was a 1/2 hour conversation about my eating habits, weight history, willingness to follow doctor's orders, and my motivation for getting the surgery. This was at a major university teaching hospital in the big city.

Mine was only about 35 min also. 3 hours is crazy! I'd call your doctors office and ask about that. Doesn't sound right

That is awesome! I have step 2 done. I started medically supervised weight loss on March 2nd. I have to do it for 6 months. That's ok, I figured I would have to. That makes the 6 month mark in September when I turn 55. Happy birthday to me. You and I got this!

For mine, I had to do two visits also. The first was only about 30 minutes or so of reviewing my life and history. The 2nd was a couple of hours of answering about 500 questions on the computer.

      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.
