They cancel surgery and treat you based on your severity. You need two subsequent negative Covid tests to proceed. I take zinc 50 mg , Vitamin C 500 Mg and vit d 10000 iU every day to increase immunity.

My surgeon said that if I tested positive I would still have surgery, but the entire surgical team would be wearing those big bulky suits with the hoods and hoses, and that after surgery I would be in an isolation room. Fortunately I tested negative.

That is madness that they would go ahead with the surgery. I can't even fathom.

      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.
