Seattle, Washington anyone?

I believe it is a requirement. I found out I had mild apnea and they were pretty insistent that I get a CPAP and wouldn't sign off on the surgery until I was able to use it through the night.

Hello Hello-

I am currently looking into the Sleeve, I have had my Lapband for 6 years with little success. I would hope to stay local but it may be too expensive. Has anyone bought insurance to cover sleeve?

Howdy, Seattle sleevers :)

I'm about 2+ years out now, and loving the sleeve. Feel free to drop me a line if you need any tips/advice or have any questions. My doctor was local, but I'm sure we have a lot of things to talk about if you have questions.

Also, who checks your levels to know if you have any deficiencies? Does the surgeon do that, or your regular doc?

For me, I get blood drawn a week before my follow up with my surgeon so we can go over blood work at the apt. Check with your surgeon and see what his process is.

      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.
