Hi, I'm going to JH Bariatrics @ Bayview as well - no surgery date yet, but I have met with my surgeon, Dr. Schweitzer, already. I have another month/6 weeks of pre-surgery insurance requirements to meet before I can get my approval and surgery date.

Yaaaaay so happy for u! Do u live in Baltimore

Hi, NewLA! :) Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling?

I'm feeling really good. This was not what I was expecting. In my mind this was going to be so much worse. My time frame may have helped it... my total process from start to finish was 120 days.

@@Beautiful 1 welcome to the losers bench. Staying hydrated is important. Sip a little as much as you can. I found for me to get the Protein in immediately after surgery I split my Protein into four smaller drinks per day. I also found my taste had changed and tried the Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel. As far as the Multivitamins I struggled with the bariatric Vitamins and ended up switching to Flintstones complete which I still use to date.

Congrats and good luck to you!

Hey, Marylanders! In month 1 of my 6 month waiting period. Going with Dr. Gandsas at Bariatric & Metabolic Weight Loss Unit at Anne Arundel Medical Center. These folks are so organized & detailed. Love their commitment. Have Psych Eval tomorrow and Bariatric Exercise Program starts Friday. Great vibes go out to everyone!

      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.
