I have surgery on 11/4 and woke up with a cold. I'm not on special diet just high Protein low carbs but don't know if I can take meds so close to surgery date. Anyone know of safe meds to take!??

I just had the same thing happen to me. My surgery is 11/6. I'm freaking out! I will die if I have to do this preop diet over again!!

I have Cigna and I had to wait the 3 months. I got my approval 2 days ago and it only took a week.

I'm November 6th

I'm November 6th also! I just got my insurance approval today!! Im so excited! I'm having my surgery in Okc. I'm 28 yrs old. I have 2 small children. 1 was a csection so I'm hoping the sleeve will be easy. My weight really spun out of control after I had kids. I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 208lbs. My goal is 130lbs. I have high cholesterol and sleep apnea. I'm so ready to start this new chapter in my life and be able to keep up with my kids. I'm tired of being absent from all the family pictures. I'm ready for the new me!

Hi! I am in OKC and think I will be going with Dr. Hamilton Le. Still early in the process though.

I'm using Hamilton Le and am currently waiting insurance approval. I really have been happy with his program thus far!

I'm going through Dr Hamilton Le at Baptist. I had do do the 3 month weight management per my insurance. I go to my last appt sept 26th and then I submit to insurance. If all goes well I'm looking at an October surgery date but they won't give me a date till insurance approval.

I go to my last appt with my NUT at the end of September then I can submit to the insurance. I have Cigna. Probably looking at late October for my surgery date. I'm so excited but the thing I'm scared of most is the pre and post op diet. I have failed at every other diet so what if I fail at this?!?! I guess my fear of being hungry is what got me to this place anyways.

I'm fixing to start testing the Protein Shakes and I don't want to waste my money on drinks that will go in the trash. What's your favorite Protein shake/ beverage?
