Anticipating August surgery date! Would love to have FB support if can?



Recommended Posts

Hi all....my last visit was on Friday 7/8/16...jst waiting on PCP to send in his "Support Letter" (which the nurse sd by this Friday 7/15) & then Midwest Bariatrics (of Neenah, WI) will submit everything for approval (I don't foresee a problem at all)....

I asked how long after approval do they usually schedule surgery .... She said only two weeks!! ....yaaaay! I asked if there was a preop liquid diet.... She said no just continue to eat how you're eating your liver should be small enough.... So I anticipate an August date!! I can't wait ...so it seems more real!!!

I do have a FB That I specifically made for bariatric support.... And I would love anyone who wants to add me to feel free!! Especially anyone who has surgery in August!! Obviously I would love to have people who have been through it (to answer any questions)... Also anyone who is anticipating it (who has any questions)....plz let me know if you want to add me!! Thank you for your time & support!!!

      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.
