That’s exactly the problem—at KB Dubrava, they aren't even looking at appointments until October, whereas over at Rib, you might get in a couple of months earlier... but I really need this sorted out urgently.

I was wondering—do those top-tier doctors over at Rib and Dubrava ever pick up shifts at private practices? I guess it’s worth asking, maybe there's a way to catch them outside the main hospital setting if you're looking for that specific expertise.

Does anyone happen to know where I might go for a thorough private consultation with a gastroenterologist in Washington, D.C.? I’m trying to get a sense of what the landscape looks like—specifically regarding pricing... I guess I'm wondering what the typical cost for a gastroscopy or similar diagnostic tests in that field tends to run these days.

Does anyone here have experience going under the knife for a sinus cleaning? I’ve heard they supposedly do it under local anesthesia—which sounds fine, I suppose—but I’m really trying to wrap my head around the whole ordeal. Does it actually hurt? How long am I looking at staying in the hospital, and what’s the recovery timeline like? Just trying to get a feel for the whole process before I dive in.

So, since I’ve never actually messed around with protein powders or glucose supplements before—not even once—I was wondering if anyone here might have some insight on what my daily intake should look like for both? Does anyone know how much protein versus glucose I ought to be aiming for?
For context, I’m sitting at about 185 cm and weighing in at 85 kg.

So, I’m sitting at about 185 cm and weighing in at 85 kg—which, honestly, feels like just enough—and I was wondering... how much protein and glucose should I actually be looking at? I really don't want to put on any more mass, because, frankly, I think I’ve got plenty to spare already. I guess maybe something like 170 g of protein and roughly 80 g of glucose mixed with maybe 3 to 5 dl of water would work? What do you guys think?
