Got back from surgeon yesterday and found my liver is to big and is damaged from all of my med's. I have to lose 60 lbs before he will do the sleeve. He put me on the pre-op diet till I get my weight down. Has anyone had this problem?

Glad things went well for you. I'm like you and I don't smoke. I just join this site 2 days ago and I don't know how to use it. Since we're doing this at the same time keep me updated how it is going for you and I'll do the same. I have always been a big eater and on diets. I'm excited about this. -

I have just started the process. Talked to primary Dr and done some of the test. December 18 see psych Dr then off to the nuttiness for a class. Then to the surgeon. I've been pre proved by Ins. Don't know how long this will take but I'm ready! It will be sometime in 2015. -
Question: Starting on the road
billnbrenda replied to pdubspeaceful's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just starting the process to go for a Lap Band. I weigh 330 and have a BMI of 45. December 18 I'll see the psych Dr then off to the nutrition person then to the surgeon. The Ins has pre proved operation . I'm all excised to get this done. I've talked about this for 4 years. I'm 63 and I want to live longer.
