I'm a newbie here . I will be receiving my procedure this coming Monday . I'm scared and excited all at once . Any suggestions and recommendations on things I can have during my two week post op liquid diet would be amazing ! Thanks everyone . Also what protein drinks/shakes do you all prefer ? If you're interested in following my journey I will also be blogging http://deathofcheeseburger.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-end-is-near.html?m=1

Good luck for Monday...woo hoo.

I use Syntrax nectar and get them from Amazon. If I'm not using them as a shake, I make them very thick and eat them like a moose.

Thank you so much . Last ore-op appointment in an hour . Getting so anxious !

What surgery are you having?

It's a new procedure called the pose procedure.

What is a pose procedure?

POSE is an incision less procedure. http://www.gisurgical.com/weight-loss-surgery/pose-procedure/

Yes the page Kimberly linked pretty much explains it .

If you don't mind me asking, is your insurance covering this ? In my area only one surgeon is performing it right now and his site said it wouldn't be covered by insurance. Or are you participating in the research study ( I saw a website that is conducting a study for it throughout the U.S., but none of them were close to my area so I wasn't eligible).

Sorry for so many questions! POSE seems really interesting and I'm sort of a medical research nerd lol. So I'm excited to see someone on the boards actually having it!

I am actually involved in the study for Pose !

And don't mind asking me anything .

How awesome ! Let us know how it goes. This may be the next big thing in weight loss surgery :-)

Thank you so much Kimberly and I will be sure to keep everyone posted here and on my blog

Oh wow....glad I asked then. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this. Good luck.

Thanks a lot it feels great to have the support !!

Thank you !!! On my way home from hospital . Sore throat and minimal stomach pain . Not too bad at all
