Well I had my consultation, Dr. Powell I believe was on vacation so I had it with some cute little thang...Dr. B (anyone know who that is). He said that I should have no problems getting approved with United Health Care and we are going to shoot for the end of April. *happy dance* There was a girl in the waiting room and she had hers done about 2 weeks ago. We got to talking and found out we work in the same building, she's one floor above me!!! LOL I was sure to tell her and another girl in the waiting room that had hers done about this great group. We'll have 2 new members hopefully :D. They are going to be mailing my order form for my bloodwork tomorrow so I should have that by the end of the week. UGH!!! I'm so excited!!!!

Awesome! I think the Dr. B might be Dr Benavides..out of Richardson, right? Yep, I think that's your guy but I'm not local so someone speak up if I'm wrong...

Congratulations! Hey...you two new girls, speak up and say hello!

Congratulations, Boxerluv, sounds like you're in great shape! And how cool is that to know another bandster you might actually get to see on a regular basis!! I'd love to have someone actually in my real life who is banded.

Here's hoping all the testing and insurance foofaraw goes smoothly! :D

Thanks everyone. I try hard not to get excided about things because they always seem to end in disappointment for me, it's just the luck I have I guess. But it's so hard not to!! I asked Dr. Benevides what kind of testing was required and he said that all UHC requires is bloodwork. yippee!!!

Hi Boxerluv! I just wanted to say HI and good luck! This is a great group of people so if you need anything, ASK! They are really helpful and have been very supportive I've found over the past few weeks. GGGOOOO BAND! Laura

      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.
