This Saturday I attend the informational seminar at the Bariatric center. Then my all day appointment is scheduled for April 12th from 7am to 4 pm. Can someone tell me what to expect? I wonder how soon after the appointment I can recieve my surgery? I have been looking at bariatriceating.com for Protein drinks and Vitamins. I ordered the sample pack and was pleased with most of them. One brand was slimey all others have been very good. I also bought a jug of Protein powder from walmart which is pretty good and I like the ready to drinks. I am trying to get ready!!

Hi Kathy!!!! It's me Kelly from the WWMB and the Vine!! AKA Keladarob. I am also waiting to get sleeved. I go for the seminar this Saturday and then my all day appointment is set for April 12th. I decided that this was a better option for me than the band. I pray that Cigna covers it for you. I have been waiting for 5 years for insurance to pay and we switched carriers and VOILA!! I am so flipping excited!! Carrie gets sleeved on the 25th of this month! Vonnie said you were looking into this. It will be great to have support from people we "know". Good luck and keep in touch:biggrin0:

Thank you, I was not sure of them. I think I will drink at least 2 each day so that I can gt used to the protein drinks

I was blessed by someone who heard that I was going to get sleeved soon (date unknown, still pending) they gave me 4 cases of EAS Myoplex RTD liquid nutrition. They have 25g Protein, 2.5g fat and 3 Fiber. They are 14 oz each and have 210 calories per bottle. They also have 23 carbs and 5g sugar. Are these okay to use to start getting used to liquid nutrition? I go to the seminar on March 27th and hopefully my surgery will be in April.

Hey Carrie!! It's me Kelly:biggrin0: Wendy said she gets a whey protein from Target in a huge tub. Chocolate and strawberry flavors. I am so excited, I go for the seminar on the 27th. I already faxed in my paperwork! I am so excited for us and I thank God that you posted about the sleeve. I had no idea this was an option, what a godsend!
