I just scheduled my surgery for December 15th! It's been a long journey but it's finally going to happen! I have been looking into weight-loss surgery for 6 years now. I never thought I would ever be able to go through with it. My insurance always had an exclusion and I could never afford to pay cash. However, I went back to school and started a new career in the medical field. I was so excited to find out that my new insurance would pay for the procedure however I would need to have 24mo's over coverage and then 6mo of nutritional visits.

It's all behind me now and December 15th is my day!

Yay congrats! My surgery is December 16th! But unfortunately I'm selfpay because I had just switched insurances before I started this journey and guess what my old insurance would of covered it but of course my new one doesn't!

That's awesome! However that sucks about the self pay but it will be worth it!!! Do you have to do a 2 week pre op diet?

      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.
