But how would we know if he did a "good job" if we aren't qualified FACS surgeons who are also members of the ASBS or more specifically, if we aren't a bariatric surgeon?

I haven't clicked on it yet (I'm assuming you mean the TOP row, 2nd from the left?), but am guessing it's a video of your surgery?

Thanks for posting the link, it was interesting to see how it is done. As for doing a good job, I don't know, I'm not an expert.

I'm one of the lucky ones....surgery on the 8th and back to work on the 11th.

I have had no pain or any other side effects from the surgery. No gas pain, even my stomach doesn't hurt. I have no problem drinking the clear fluids, I don't crave anything.

I still can't believe it and waiting for the pain to sneak up on me!

I've just always been very lucky on the healing side of life and I have a very low threshold for pain. I just did or didn't do everything they told me too.

I give a lot of credit to the Dr as I have very little black and blue, which means they took care when they were inside.

      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.
