Does anyone live over a hundred mikes Fromm where they will be having their procedure done?


While I don't, I know the office that did my surgery often does surgeries for people in Wyoming, Nebraska and (I think) Montana.

The number of visits will depend on the requirements of the surgeon and of your insurance. If you have to do a monitored diet - you may be able to do that with your primary care. That would reduce the amount of travel.

I'm just getting started and I have to travel 245 miles to get to the first visit, I would like to know how many visit there are


I know that the practice I went to told out-of-towners that they would need to remain in Fort Collins a few days before surgery to sort out the formalities.

I am, I live in Alaska and will be traveling to Seattle WA for my surgery. When it's all said and done I will have made 3 trips down to the office.

Yes I have to travel from one end of British Columbia to the other. I am wondering what I need to bring with me, how soon do I start Vitamins, things like that. As I will be away from home for at least a week. And then fly home.

      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.
