Hello everyone. I am so excited and shocked that my decision was so fast! My last weigh in was Tuesday 8/2 and today I recieved a call from my surgeons office saying that my insurance company (healthfirst) has approved the surgery!

I am beyond ready and anxious!!! My surgery is on Monday 8/15

Started my liquid diet on 7/31 and at first it was hard but now I'm like hello premier I love you lol!

This app has helped me out so much I have been reading lots and I hope everyone that is in the waiting game with insurance gets a response quickly! Positive vibes to all!

Congratulations! That is such great news, and you are just one week away from your surgery date! Really excited for you! Which surgery are you having, and where?

I am still waiting on approval, I have RNY on August 18th at Duke.

Have you started packing your hospital bag?

      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.
