I am on my way....



Recommended Posts

I am on my way as of today.....met with my surgeon, set up all my appointments, spoke with my PCP (he is wonderful!!) about diet history/letter....so by May 27th all the tests, etc. will be done and all the paperwork can be submitted to my insurance. I am so excited I could pee my pants! My surgeon says I will be able to have the sugery this summer....I am hoping early summer.

I want to thank everyone on is board as I have been "lurking" for some time and I feel so blessed to have found all of you....I have learned so very much!

I can't wait to be an official "bandster"....

Good for you Margo. I was so excited I drove myself to the hospital, but not home, LOL. I had to be there at 5:30. I'm thrilled for you, congratulations and best of luck on your new journey.

Hey, Met with Dr. Deol today, great lady, answered all my questions, told me I was lucky to have Messa insurance, easy approval and all! I have about seven appointments to make asap! Tomorrow I will be on the phone a lot, then the next few weeks will be appointment city! In between that, I will work, go to camp for five days with my school kids, and get through all this @#$%@ appointments! Gotta keep sight of the goal!

      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.
