Sorry hadn't checked this thread for a while. And I see now that it's a moot point, but no, I had just heard that she left. No idea where she had gone. Very glad to see her back. I always thought of her as one of the highlights of the program. Sorry to hear that Linda left, I thought she was amazing and was most helpful with some issues I had.

Welcome John!! Good to see a guy on here. If you have any ?'s ask away.

Wanted to share a great moment with everyone. I went shopping the other weekend for a new outfit for a job interview. I was in the Women's section in Kohl's and could not find anything. Everything was to big. I gave up and was starting to walk out the door and spotted a top that was cute and thought that I would see if it would fit. It was in the Misses section and didn't think it would. But I got an XL and went and tried it on and it DID!! I havn't shopped in the Misses section since I was probably under 12 yrs old. Then I went to Lane Bryants to try out some pants and was able to get into a size 16!!! It has been 15 yrs or so since I have been in that size. I am loving this. I am so glad I made the choice to have the Lapband.

Good luck to everyone else. Can't wait to hear about everyone else's awwwwe moments.

Hi all, I wanted to introduce myself, I've been reading this site for quite some time and this is my first post. I am finally awaiting insurance approval and can't wait to get a surgery date. Dr. Hoehn is the surgeon who will be performing my surgery. I started my jouney the first part of November and it's been awhile, but I've seen the dietician, Dr. Sabapathy and been to a lapband support group already. I'm not sure what else I have to go thru once my insurance is approved, but hope to have a date in March or early April. I love this website and visit often and hope to make lots of new friends on here. Teri

Just called United Health Care and found out my surgery has been approved. Whoohoo, I'm so excited, just waiting for Dr. Hoehn's office to call me now to do whatever comes next? Surgery date, I hope. I can't wait.

My surgery was about 2 years ago, just long enough that it's getting hard to remember the specifics, but I think my order went something like this:

Call of confirmation from the office > scheduling (consultation, dietician, education session with the coordinator, psychologist). I had met with the dietician and coordinator prior to getting my surgery date, which I got at the consultation. The psychologist's office was a little backlogged so I ended up squeezing that in last minute. In fact my last visit with him was the day ebfore my surgery.

Thanks Wheetsin, I've already seen the dietician, Dr. Sabapathy and took the phsycy eval. I have to see Erin a few times in Dr. Sabapathy's office and still need to do preop education class, I know that I still have to meet with Dr. Hoehn also, I was just hoping to get a surgery date soon and wasn't sure if anything else was going to be required. Thanks for the info.

Do you have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Hoehn? That's when you get your date, at least when I had mine done. Getting my consultation date was *I think* one of the earlier things that happened.

Edited to add - I misread your post. I think the program has changed a lot since I went through. I don't remeber anything being required prior to getting the consultation. In fact, I think I had the consultation, then started getting scheduled for all the other stuff in the meantime.

I think!

      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.
