Good luck to you, Mimi!

But more important than luck, please listen to and follow all the directions of your surgeon and surgery coordinator and you will be fine.

I wish I had my VSG surgery sooner, but fear and nervousness kept me from pursuing it.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining the journey with the rest of us! You're going to do FANTASTIC!

Keep us all updated on your progress, and just remember, we can all do this!

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

It will be over before you know it. When I first awakened after surgery I was in a state of shock because I honestly thought the surgeon had somehow pulled out at the last minute and decided not to do the surgery procedure, because I wasn't feeling any kind of pain.

My surgeon actually walked over to me and confirmed that he did indeed do the surgery and everything went very well. I eventually felt a little soreness at the incision sites but that was very bearable.

Of course, I know people sometimes have complications, but what's a safer place to have a complication than an actual hospital.

I believe you're gonna totally ROCK this!:-)

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

      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.
