Becky from Illinois almost thru the process



Recommended Posts

Hi to all. I am new to this web site. I was told about it tonight at a support group. I am having my surgery in Peoria, Illinois. My appointment next week is with the Psyc and then comes my precertification and surgery date. I am anxious but nervous. I hope I do as well as alot of the people on the postings. I would like to know what the best Protein Drinks or powder are?

thanks. Becky

Hi Becky, and welcome to LBT. Unfortunately, I can't answer your questin about Protein powders/drinks, as I never really did them much. I just drink Carnation Instant Breakfast in the morning. Perhaps you can do a search or look under our food forums.

I have just been to the seminar w/ my first Dr appt tomorrow. What do you think I should expect from my appt? I also wondering if the insurance will cover me. Husband has Unified Group Services & it seems as if no one else has the same insurance.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
