Good luck! Keep us posted!!! Mine is Wednesday!!!

First of all, Congrats!!!!! How exciting!!!!!!! Second...what is an NSV?

Oh my word! I hope you are feeling better soon and I am glad they found the clot quickly! Keep us posted!

@ ChristyLove-My 14 year old niece told me something yesterday that she heard on Oprah and I knew I would be able to pass along since I loved it so much! The rapper 50 cent said "Don't for something and then worry about it". I LOVE it!!! @Discordya-Regarding the spinach...I do not have any plans to eat much of it again! hahah I have read your blog and so excited everything is working out for you!!! @Awesome-Thank you!!! I couldn't think of anything clever and didn't want to use what a lot of other people are using and the this popped into my head! I am definitely changing lanes!!! I thought about the spinach and the liver shrinking but I reckon since it has so much fiber and not carbs it ok. If he would have told me to stand on my head in the corner I would have! Good luck and be good with the juice!! hee hee

Okay so....I am still on this pre-op diet that consists of a cup of spinach a day for solids. I loved spinach 7 days ago but since it's the only thing I get to chew and have been chewing on it every day for a week...not so much anymore. I always try to use a positive when I use a negative so I am happy to report that it is paying off. I am losimg weight steadily as I make every effort to shrink my liver for surgery. I feel like I am always "Changing lanes" when it comes to the actual day of surgery. I get excited and giddy and then scared and wonder if I am making the right decision. I'm pretty sure my lack of confidence in my decision is due to my fear of being put to sleep.

Fantastic!!!!!!!

Who did your surgery? I am in Cypress!

You look amazing!!!

I wanted to quote everyone's comment on this thread!! i am so excited to have such a positive and excited to have surgiversary with!!! i will keep everyone updated on my end. I am starting to get scared! EEk!!!

I'm Wednesday too!! Eeeek! I am so excited and nervous all rolled into one!

I have nott been sleeved yet but I agree with the whole safe than sorry thought and I would contact my doc ASAP. I was glad to hear you had a good recovery but this freaked me out a little!

My doc said he does them for all of his patients because it can be a first sign of a leak rather than getting horrible sick and procrastinating on calling or going to the doc. I asked for a whole bunch in case one doesn't work. haha

Good luck!!! I will say a prayer for a speedy recovery!! Please keep us posted on the post-op side! My surgery is Wednesday!!!

Thank you so much and the same for you!!! I think the fear of the unknown is definitely working against me! We will be fine and then FINE!! I'm so glad there's a local to help each other get through!!!

My doc recommended the Atkins. I would check with your doc but I only have 3 days left and have been doing them the whole time so I hope so! lol

Thanks for posting! Interesting and certainly puts a pound into prospective. Now I need to lose 20 infants! hahahah

I am not only afraid. I am petrified because this will be my first surgery ever. I am getting sleeved at the new hospital on Huffmeister and 290. I call my doc McDreamy. lol. He is a cutie in person unlike his very realtor looking pic on his website. hahaha

You know I just heart you Patrick! I was going to suggest this individual to find you!!

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

I have thought about this same thing. However, I don't really have the co-morbidities. Well, sleep apnea and my back hurts but I haven't ever been to the doc to complain of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining now just thinking out loud....

I am 8 days into my pre-op diet and lost 13lbs. I'm still hungry but it has gotten bearable. My surgery is Wednesday! Eeek!

My surgery is Wednesday and this definitely scared me! However, I stopped in my tracks and said a prayer for you! I know God is hearing our prayers and you will overcome this huge, uncomfortable, scary obstacle!! hugs

I am still pre-op but my surgeon has me on a vitamin schedule for post op that includes a sublingual vit b

My surgeon was pretty similar to Texarcolina in that I had to sign that I understood that it would not be safe to get pregnant for 18 months after my surgery. As a matter of fact I think I had to sign 3...one for the nut, one for registration at the hosp and one for the doc. So, yes babies are possible.
