That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

When do you get your band

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

Ok I know where you at. I am down the freeway from you on !-10. Well I teach in that area. I am off the beltway and Tidwell area. Do you use the ticker? Do you know how to edit? I tried to but it just takes me back to creat a new one and not posting previous weight.

      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.
