I have my first appointment 8/27 and then a psych appointment 9/6. It seems like time is dragging, I'll be happy to have that first appointment because then I'll have a starting date to count from. I'm hoping for a March surgery date.

Yes, I am just starting the process as well. I have had my psych appointment and will meet with the nutritionist and surgeon this week. I am required by my insurance to have 6 months of nutritional counseling and will be looking at spring of 2016 for my surgery, if approved by my insurance. I will also have all of the upper GI testing and sleep study testing done during that period.

If all goes well God will I hope to be having my surgery Dec or Jan I have had all the prerequisites, I.e., NUT eval, cardio, etc., the insurance came back and said they require 6 months physician/Nutritionist eval so here I am but I'm not giving up.

I'll probably be around April. Seems like sooooooo long. I worry about losing too much weight pre op and them being like "oh ok you don't need surgery you can do it on your own".

I have my first consult on Monday, with my first supervised doc appt on the 25th. Sept is month 1 and Feb is month 6, so I'm hoping March or April.

My birthday is at the end of April, so this would be a great birthday gift to me.

I'm close ???? I had my first consultation July 20th, and since then I've had a nutrition apt, psych eval, barium swallow, GI ultrasound and my monthly visits which I'm required To do for 6 months before I'm approved. My surgeon said my surgery would be around feb/march because my info wont be sent out to insurance until 2016. I'm new to this forum and also looking for ppl who are getting the surgery in the same time frame!

      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.
