I'm new here as well and I've decided to get the surgery because my hubby's insurance will cover 80% of it which is better than having to self pay. I am still looking for just the right doctor. I also think I should get that new realize band that ppl on this post are talking about.... Welcome to the site and hope to become friends with everybody because lets face it..we are ALL IN THIS FIGHT against our enemy FAT!!! LOL

BLESSINGS TO YA'LL

My journey went fast -I saw the Dr. once he gave me a list of things to complete for my insurace co. did that in 5 months finished on tuesday -approved on friday and scheduled surgery for wed. never seen Dr. again until I came out of surgery.. Surgery lasted almost 2 hours.. My liver got punctured and I had to get a transfusion- secong thing Dr. put a pin hole with instument in first band and had to replace and add a second band. Long surgery, in Hosp. 3 days very sore- but I can say now at 1 week to the date I feel good except I still feel the port. It feels like a babies toes are caught near my ribs.. My Surgeon is one on the top 4 in the country so things happen.. Going for my 2 week check up next week :)

ThinDolphin3 where are you from?

80% is better than footing the entire bill....

My Insurace company picked up 100% minus my $250.00 co-pay.. Thats the only way I could truely afford.. Good Luck and we will stay in touch!!

      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.
