Hello friends!I go to CDH and i have Dr. Woodard as my dr now.He is not my original dr i had to change due to insurance would be way too expensive at other drs office.I love Kara the nutritionist.Dr Woodard is great.I am glad i was able to find another surgeon that understands me and he is funny and not so serious all the time!From what i hear he is the only one that doesn't numb you before he gives you a fill.I have never been numbed in the area for a fill.It doesn't bother me at all.So far so good!

I love Woodard... Not a fan of Kara at all... How's your journey so far. I have had 2 fills, painless I literally didn't even feel it. I'm losing really slow. I can't workout due to An injury this whole time. Trying to stay positive... I'm down 36 lbs since surgery... Wish it were more tho. But a loss is a loss

Kara i like.There is another one there that i had one time and didn't care for.Have you gone to any of the support group meetings?Every 4th monday of the month.They are pretty good!You learn different things.All types of patients go there.Pre op,post op and people that have had it for years.You should go!Fun group and sometimes we meet afterwards for coffee or something light to eat.You will know when you get your fill and know that your at your green zone.Yeah fills are easy.

      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.
