Thanks guys!

Thanks so much for the great pointer! I would have never thought to bring my laptop.

Thank you!!!

Hi guys! He cleared me for surgery under the condition that I stay on just liquids until surgery. I have lost 12 pounds so far so he wasn't as upset as I expected him to be. I'm so excited and can't wait for Monday!!

Thanks everyone for your input I honestly appreciate them! I will call him first thing in the morning!

Thanks for your reponses! I was supposed to drink 2-3 protein shakes a day (which I did) plus a smart one with a side salad. I had some really good days where I followed it 100% but then had those days where I replaced the meal with "bad foods". I don't know I am so torn! I knwo if I call my surgeon he will be upset and cancel it but if it is the best thing for me healthwise then i guess I should call him. Has anyone not followed the diet and stil had a successful surgery?

Hi All, My surgery is scheduled for this Monday and I have failed at the pre-op diet. I have consumed all of the Protein in the world but instead of eating the one a day Smart one meals I have been eating things I wasn't supposed to, such as Asian style chicken and Broccoli with Rice, pizza and creamy soups . I know it sounds horrible but I honestly haven't been overeating I just haven't been eating right. Should I cancel my surgery or is there a chance I can still shrink my liver? If so, I will have 3 days to do it. Please help! -N

Sunny Greetings! Has anyone here had surgery in Boston? If so, where and with which surgeon? Thanks!! Nicky

Thanks for your quick response Sue! I would have checked them out but I already handed over the $500 program fee (Non-Refundable) and have been going through the program for 4 months now Thanks for your advice!

Sunny Greetings! I'm new to this and have a few questions I hope someone could help me with. I am 1 week away from meeting with the surgeon and then hopefully scheduling my surgery once insurance approves it (Fingers crossed) BUT I still haven't decided on a surgeon : X. I was wonerding has anyone on here had surgery @ BIDMC and are there any recommendations you could give me? Also, how long did it take to get approved by your insurance company? I have a Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO) through my company. Thanks in advance! Any questions you guys can answer will be greatly appreciated! Nicky
