Professional chef looking to have surgery in May

[SethV 11]

Hello all! I am new here but partially into my journey already. I have at one point lost 200 pounds on my own, but have since put back on 125. I have submitted all the requirements to my insurance company so now I am playing the waiting game hoping for a surgery date in mid may. Complicating things is that I am the chef for a major league baseball team and this surgery would be at the beginning of a baseball long season. Nevertheless, I am ready for the challenge.

I'm hoping for April. I don't have a baseball team to cook for but a 15 year old who's 6.4 and still growing.

I'm looking at a May surgery date as well, hope all goes smoothly for you! Oh and queendeborahbee, my son is also 6'4 and still growing at 16 so I know how you feel! Definitely see the similarities between feeding him and an entire team lol

Good for you, chef! If Graham Elliot can do it, so can you! Good luck!

Have you started planning how you will get your Protein? i have a recipe book for shakes and I have purchased Protein Powder and sugar free Syrup. I also plan to cook some organic chickens so I will have healthy broth to drink after surgery. What are your plans?

For sure. He is a friend of mine and actually helped me get started on this journey.

Usually takes about a week to hear back from the insurance. Then after that you will have a quick surgery date. I say you could probably get one for the beginning or mid of april. Unless you really want May surgery date.
