Dr. McCarty & Mini Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi - wondering if anyone can share their experience with Dr. McCarty and the mini sleeve procedure. I would be traveling from out of state and wondering what the after care was like.

I just had the mini sleeve done back on Thursday morning. I love Dr. McCarty. He's knowledgeable, kind, and reassuring. My insurance requirements were minimal due to my BMI. The staff is great. Nutritionist is nice and helpful. The surgery center I was at required an EKG and chest x-ray for clearance for anesthesia. Something was off on x-ray, so Dr. M got me set up for a CT scan quickly to not delay my surgery date. I was really concerned about that, but when I went in for my pre-op appt he reassured me that it wasn't anything he was concerned about. We just needed the CT report to satisfy the anesthesia dept. Sure enough, a couple days later, all was well and my surgery was on time. The first couple days were rough (gas pain is no joke and I kept having diaphragm spasms for some reason), but I'm getting better every day. No regrets. [emoji4]

      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...

        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.
