Thanks for info

I have been approved by insurance to go ahead with surgery, everything has been turned into Synergy, so I am just awaiting a surgery date. I've been waiting a week already for a date and I'm getting anxious! I want this done any advice for me while I wait, or anything I should do to prepare?

Congratulations!! I would follow up with them if it's already been a week! I heard the same day from my surgeon and the insurance that I had been approved and to confirm my surgery date.

As for preparing, I would make sure you have lots of liquid protein on hand because you are not going to want to go shopping for that stuff after surgery (protein shakes, broth, jello, etc). I also made sure that things around the house were caught up with since I knew I wouldn't want to do it for a while after surgery (laundry, etc). I also put a few books on my kindle that I had been wanting to read since you won't be doing much but walking and resting for at least the first few days after surgery. Hope that helps and good luck!!

Thanks! Are there any protein powders that you recommend? Or that give you the most for your money? My Drs recommended Bariatric Fusion but I would like other options just in case.

I am really not the best person to ask. The protein shakes made me feel sick and I only used them until I was able to eat my protein. But I found EAS powder that is 100% whey protein and has 26g protein and is low carb at BJs. They sometimes have coupons for it. Gnc has their own brand and is a good place to check, they have some good sales sometimes. Hopefully someone else can give you some more recommendations!

Congrats on every who has gotten approved for surgery
