firephotographer 0 Posted July 20, 2011 AAAHHHH!!!! I'm freaking out!!! They opened up a new surgery date, and called to let me know I could have it if I wanted!! Well, OF COURSE I said YES!!! hahahaha!!! We weren't expecting surgery to be until the end of August, at least, so I haven't been very diligent about my diet. Well, even though my Dr. only requires a 1 day liquid diet, I started myself on it yesterday. Decided it was better to go ahead, and try to lose a little more weight, and work on shrinking my liver. Can I just say it SUCKS??!! hahaha!! My birthday is Friday....what an AMAZING birthday present!! SO excited to start my new life!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firephotographer 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Wow!! Quite a few of us on the 27th!! YAY!! My Dr. only requires a liquid diet for the day before, but I put myself on one on Tues. I did allow myself to eat dinner with my husband at our favorite restaraunt last night, and I was MISERABLE!! Ugh, it was AWFUL!! The food was amazing, but I am DEFINITELY not going to miss that "I'm so stuffed I can't move, and feel like I'm gonna throw up" feeling!!! Even still crappy today from it!! No more for me!! smacbeth, I see you're in Sterling Heights!! I'm in Adrian (not that you'd know where that is!! haahha!!), and having my surgery at Barix in Ypsi. Are you having yours up in your area??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreginMI 76 Posted July 21, 2011 I grew up in Adrian and graduated from there. I live near Saline now. I know where the Barix clinic is in Ypsi. I had mine done in Livonia at St. Mary's hospital with Dr. Zeni but I know some people that had their surgery at Barix and they were happy. Good luck to you, neighbor! Wow!! Quite a few of us on the 27th!! YAY!! My Dr. only requires a liquid diet for the day before, but I put myself on one on Tues.
