THANKS FOR ALL DA INFO AND YOUR INSIGHT ON THE SITUATION...ITS SUCH A HARD DECISION...THE REASON I AM CONSIDERING THE SLEEVE IS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY VARIOUS DOCTORS THAT THE LAP BAND WOULD NOT BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR SOMEONE WOULD A BMI AS HIGH AS MINES...AND AS FAR AS THE DANGERS I WOULD BE AT MORE RISK WITH ME BRING THIS SIZE WITH THE LAP BAND...SO EITHER WAY THE RISKS ARE EVEN FOR ME...I AM STILL SO CONFUSED...I GO TO A SLEEVE SEMINAR ON MONDAY...I WILL BE MAKING MY DECISION AFTER THAT I HOPE, AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH....

OH YEA...AND LULU VERTICAL SLEEVE DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME...LOL :lol:

My BMI was 55 at my first consult. I thought my Dr would make me do a 3 week liquid diet before surgery but I only had to do a 2 week... and I lost 22 lbs in those 2 weeks.... Maybe your Dr. does something similar?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
