Naynay's right. Most do one in 4 to 6 weeks. When I went for my 10-day post-op check up, they scheduled my first fill for a total of 4 weeks after my surgery date.

My first fill was at 6 weeks. It seemed like FOREVER though. And it took to fill 5 before I finally got restriction.

My doctor made me weight 8 weeks, However, I did feel some restriction even without a fill and lost 40 pounds prior to that fill.

      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.
