Elevated liver functions no after surgery
Catcarter replied to Catcarter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have not had any issues with my liver before surgery. I have not took any pain meds , Tylenol or Lipitor or anything like that. I just take my vitamins and I do get enough of my protein in. I still have my gallbladder. Just wondering what the dr will do when I go back tomorrow. I am so worry! -

Constipatin,Acid reflux and Heart burns
Catcarter replied to Catcarter's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do not eat before going to bed. I have elevated my head. When I do eat I eat maybe 3 lil bites not much at all. So I know I am not overeating. But I have notice when I drink water instead of sipping like I did I will swallow more than a sip. It does not hurt. I am going to see how the Protonix is going to help since this is only my second day f asking it. Thanks for all the suggestions! -

I AM SO NERVOUS BOUT THIS PRE DIET FOR 2 WEEKS. -
I have a question. My office gave surgery date of Ocrober 4th. They want to to start my 2 weeks liquid diet on Monday. My question is I have not started on my vitamins. I am still waiting on my insurance approval first before buying. Should I go ahead and order my vitamins now or should I wait. Thanks!

I started in February. My insurance require a 6 months nutrients visits. My last was 9/6. They submitted my insurance this past Wednesday. They call today and stated my insurance needed a surgery date to proceed with my approval. I have to go to a 3 hour pre and post- op class and wil have to go on a 2 week liquid diet. They said we should be hearing from my insurance by the end of next week. I hope that when the insurance needed a surgery date I hope that is a start of approval. Keeping my fingers cross and praying!
