Hello
Just found out this morning my cardiac clearance is in and my insurance approved my DS! I have an ultrasound on my gallbladder scheduled (surgeon said he requires these for all his DS patients now) for 3/27 and I need to take 4 educational/nutritionist classes prior to surgery. She said the scheduler will call me before my ultrasound to set an official date for surgery. Also, my surgeon requires 3 weeks of liquid diet to shrink the liver for the lap DS. I'm definitely not looking forward to that, but it will be great practice for post-op.
Ahhhhh I am getting so excited
I need to start stocking up on vitamins and protein powder now, I guess. I'm going to go with Vitalady's regimen and Bariatric Advantage shakes. I'll keep everyone updated on when I get scheduled then I can really kick it into overdrive!
