I had the DS 6/1/21 and am so happy my surgeon recommended it! It has definitely improved my life and health! I’m still early in this journey but down over 50 lbs from preop ( 35 of those since surgery!) and it feels great! I too am a nurse and walking those hospital hallways carrying 50 lbs less (so far) is sooo much easier now! I already walk farther, faster and have a spring in my step I haven’t had for years, and I’m 63 years old! Congratulations on all you have achieved! You are doing an amazing job!
Congratulations on your success! You are doing amazing! It sure makes a difference weighing less walking those halls as a nurse!
I was also in the ICU back when I saw people die from wls. Since our insurance never covered it I had given up researching it until I decided to actually do it and then I saw complications were a lot fewer than back when I was a new nurse, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I'm also do happy I went with the DS.
I'm very happy it's working so well for you. Congratulations! [emoji4]

Great words from all
I am a nurse also and it took many years to get me to decide i needed wls. Mostly due to all the complications I had seen as a nurse. On august 31 2022 I had VGS. It was a rough go the first few days but I am feeling much better. Thanks for all your comments it helps alot to read about how they are progressing.

      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.
