So yesterday I went to see my surgeon and give him all the results from the testing he order, also my psych evaluation and the letter from my pcm giving the ok, they said they are confident that is enough for the insurance to approve, they schedule a tentative day of June 10 for surgery and we should know by the end of next week ???????????? I want to be excited but then I'm like what if they say no, also having a surgery day is scaring me a little is happening so fast that is making me wonder if I will be able to go ahead with it. I know this is the best the thing for me I've tried for years to lose weight and I have, but it comes back, then I have the days where I don't feel like 230 is that bad I know it is, im 5'3 so that's a lot but I guess or at least hope I'm not the only one who has felt like this I hope the insurance does approve and I know I'll get over it just now my brain is running crazy ????

Try to relax............I'm just like you. I can lose weight and have even lost a significant amount when I set my mind to it...I lost 60lbs and in less than 8 months it was all back plus another 30......I've joked before, saying I should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for how much and how fast I can gain weight!!! Portion Control is my main problem and the sleeve will help me address that!! My surgery is Monday and I can'n't hardly wait to get started with this new part of my life! Good luck to you. The waiting is the worst part of this process!!!

      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.
