Having sleeve on September 27!



Recommended Posts

I have been trying to get gastric bypass surgery 6 years. I finally got approval for a surgeon to do the surgery I originally wanted gastric bypass but the doctor wants to do this leave and I'll be happy at this point to get anything. I had first started trying to get the surgery 6 years ago and then we discovered that I had endometrial cancer. So with any malignancy you're automatically disqualified. However my oncologist and I finally got a surgeon to understand that I can't have a hysterectomy because of my weight but if I can get the weight loss surgery and lose some weight ; I will be able to get the hysterectomy. This has been a very long road but finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel!

So sorry that you are starting this with the complication of endometrial cancer. I wish you well with both surgeries. The initial weight loss comes pretty rapid for some. Hopefully, you will be able to get the hysterectomy soon.

May God bless you!

      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.
