First surgeon appointment



Recommended Posts

Met with the surgeon today. Really liked her and like that she’s a female. My insurance requires 6 months of weigh ins and I was able to count last months. So 1 down, 1 next week and then 4 more months. I got blood work labs to do, they signed me up everything I needed and suddenly I see a direct path to surgery! Hoping for a smooth process! My BMI is 41.5 and Doctor said to just maintain my current weight so I won’t disqualify myself. 41.5 BMI & high blood pressure (taking medication) is what I’m trying to qualify with. She said I was a very easy and straightforward case so we’re going for the sleeve. Taking this easy path with gratitude because I know it’s not this easy for others. ❤️

Congrats, you can do it! Dont be surprised if mental food stress or surgery issues do crop up though, just don't let it get to your head and let you gain because you don't need to "lose". Insurances don't like that either.

      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.
