I'll be getting sleeved this Friday, I'm ready to get it over with.

I'm on day 10 of my pre op diet, my surgery is Friday. When I get really hungry between Protein Shakes I have a cup of low sodium chicken or beef bullion, that seems to kill my hunger for a while.

Soy is like anything else, it works for some and is deadly poison to others. It's very much the latter for me.

I don't care for regular whey, but I have no problems with whey isolate. Whey isolate is lactose free.

I would stick with Whey, soy can be your best friend or worse enemy. Took me a while to figure out I was allergic to it. I could stand in a walk in freezer and sweat buckets and constantly breaking out with hives and itching real bad. I blamed it on everything else in the world, but in the end it was the soy Protein. Once I stopped using it I had no more problems.

At Ochsner hospital in New Orleans. I'm still waiting for them to call and schedule a surgery date.

I got approved today. The lady said I'd be getting another call within the next couple days to schedule surgery.

I had sleep apnea so bad the sleep study was the first time I got anything close to a good nights sleep in years. It took a couple of adjustments to get me tweaked in and it was goodnight Irene! I never thought I'd be able to sleep with a mask on, now I can't imagine not having it. I do hope that after I get sleeved I'll be able to get off the BiPAP, but I sure have slept like never before since I started using it. I was so tired all the time I would just about fall asleep at red lights, it was getting dangerous.

I'm lactose intolerant and allergic to soy. Try to find a Protein that 100% whey protein isolate, it's lactose free. I buy the 5 lb. unflavored NOW 100% Whey Protein Isolate from Swanson for around $52. I add one of those Walmart brand sugar free wild strawberry drink packs to it and it taste great.

I sure hope this gets straightened out for you, I would be upset too.

I've taken Flexeril off and on after having two back surgeries, it dries me out BIG TIME when I take it. Might be dangerous after WLS when you're trying to stay hydrated. JMO

Medicare will now cover it! There's a few hoops to jump through, but they will cover it, just looked at the site.

I was scheduled for surgery tomorrow and just got a call from my Dr. saying medicare decided to to cover it. He tried to talk me into a R&Y Bypass, but I'm not doing that. Good luck to everyone else, my journey here is over!
