Appointment with the Surgery Center



Recommended Posts

I just received a call from the Surgery Center, made a appointment for next week, I am so excited.

I also made a appointment for a seminar for next week also.

They told me I had to have a letter of refferal from my Primary Doctor, so I called and they told me I would have to get a letter from insurance company.

So there is some confusion there but I am sure I can get thru it. I have to go to a nutritionist for 6 months before the surgery is performed according to my Insurance Company(Cigna HMO).

But I am very hopefull and hope everything works out.

It has helped reading all the boards and some very interesting stories, I am sure this will help during this long process.

If anyone has any input I would love to hear from you.

By the way I live in Florida and I will be going to a Surgical Weight Reduction Surgery Center in Wellington. If anyone out there has any info about the hospital please write. :whoo:

Thank you for your reply I don't get many.

When you go for your visits what does the doctor discuss with you. I am just curious..

I have struggled with my weight for so many years I just hope I don't fail this ...

My doctor has me keep a daily food diary. He wants me to be eating 1500 cal/day and 64g of protien/day. He wants me to do some sort of exercise everyday as well. He is an awesome doc... more like a family friend and he knows the struggles I have had with my weight over the years. Good luck hon.

      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.
