Test before surgery
According to my requirements, those visits would be considered as one. I had to have 6 consecutive monthly visits. I guess the breath test is for H. Pylori but no idea about the dye test.

Negative comments
I've been very fortunate to have highly supportive coworkers, but honestly it wouldn't matter to me...because I know that this is right for me and that i've done a ton of research. Please don't let anyone with negativity in their hearts cause you even one moment of self doubt or worry...it just isn't worth it

Urine Screening - Smoking
I can understand having to quit smoking, vaping and cannabis...but I wonder why no cbd oil since you can get it without any thc in it.

Test before surgery
I had to have an endoscopy within the last 2 yrs, psych evaluation(had to be an actual Psychiatrist, not a counselor), 6 months physician assisted diet, sleep study(since I showed a mild sleep apnea, I had to get on the cpap machine and show compliance for 30 days) and meet with a nutritionist. These were all insurance requirements except the cpap compliance which is required by my surgeon/anesthesiologist.

I'm so excited about... Protien powder???
I tried the Premier rtd in chocolate and caramel...oh my gosh, that was toothache sweet lol. I got my sample box in from Unjury last week and so far have drank the 2 rtd and while the chocolate wasn't good to me, the vanilla was..just a tad too sweet, but pretty good. This is weird because i'm a total chocolate nut. I've also tried the vanilla and chocolate splendor packs mixed with almond milk and they are really good...I put more almond milk in to cut some of the sweetness.
