I have read lots of "good,bad, & ugly" posts on here. It doesn't take long to search around and find. I don't even have a date set yet, so maybe you can come back and tell all of us those things you would have liked to know before your surgery. Good Luck!

Hi

I had my sleeve 3 weeks ago in Orlando - ORMC - where are you having yours done?

My experience was very good - the only pain was when I came to in recovery and that only lasted a few minutes. No gas experience as many others have had, no feeling of being kicked in the stomach. My surgeon is the best and the hospital had their stuff together. I would be glade to answer any questions you might have...

      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.
