goodgrief01 0 Posted May 24, 2010 I think I will be a late July as well! I just received insurance approval and go for my stress test this week, which is the last thing I need to complete before I get a date. A few weeks ago they were scheduling in June but I think by the end of this week I will end up in late July. I'm getting really excited and can't wait to get it over with! I am hearing different things about the pre-op diet. I have not met with my surgeon yet to get the actual directions so I am not 100% what that will involve. I hear some are a week on a liquid diet to shrink the liver and I hear others say they were put on a 24 hour. Does anyone know if this is something that is determined by each person's physical condition prior to surgery or just a surgeons choice for all their patients? Good luck to everyone and I hope to get to know you all better! Amy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
