I have being dealing with the same thing.. shakes with the artificial sweeteners taste super sweet and would cause me to throw up... I have the Unjury Chocolate sweetened with Splenda..I have to add pure Cocoa and PB2(additional protein) to cut the sweetness. Unjury also has Chicken and Santa Fe Chile flavors... I plan to order those next. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I love reading you guys posts! When I get to worrying about the particulars of surgery, I just do a search and find what you all experienced/experiencing... which is a great help. My Bypass surgery date is Oct 15th... my doctor's nurse told me I only have to do 7 day liquid diet, but i think i may try to start a little early.. I go to my Pre-Op testing and Dietician class on Oct 2nd then will see my surgeon on Oct 3rd... Best of luck to all of you! [emoji847] Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

What all is done during the Pre OP testing appt? I was told it was scheduled, but was not told what it entail. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have paid my Surgeon $790(before my first appt with him) and the hospital called and said I would have to pay them $1300, 10 days before surgery... my date is October 15th. The payments will satisfy my Out-Of-Pocket(OOP) expense with my insurance for the year. Once OOP is met, insurance will pay 100% of my medical expenses... for the remainder of this year Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I finally got my surgery date yesterday. I am having the gastric bypass on Oct. 15th. After I got the date, I instantly felt sick to my stomach....which I knew it was only my nerves..lol... I am so excited. I started the process last October, got approved for the sleeve August 9th. Then my Dr recommended the bypass due to GERD... Got the approval for the bypass on Sept 17th. I go for a protesting appt and dietician appt on Oct 2nd.

Lol....I will be contacting her by tomorrow if I have not heard from the her. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was happy and surprised it was that quick.. although I was approved on the 9th, it is now the 29th and I have not recieved a surgery date from my Dr. office.... I have paid the Dr. Pre-pays, have spoken to the hospital regarding their pre-pays, but still no date. I was told to wait until the nurse calls me.... I'm trying to remain in good spirits knowing I did get approval from my insurance, but the wait is killing me. [emoji58] Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
