Thinking of Cancelling my Surgery.. HELP!!!

[Guest Rosalind]

I have lost weight and my doc won't consider not doing a 2 week preop liquid diet. I know I can stick to it as haaaaaaaaaard as it may be. My doc does a 2 week preop with no exceptions. He is very successful and has never lost a patient so I will trust what he says.Don't cancel!! You have worked so hard to get to this point! Don't let your hope go!:nono:

I totally agree with all of them. I was on a strick 2 week pre op and went out with a bang of skyline chilli the night before surgery. I asked the doc and he said my liver was perfect...DO NOT CANCELL ...id not even tell them personally! Lol

Yeah I wouldnt tell them either! YOUR TOTALLY GONNA BE FINE! LIKE I SAID BEFORE YOUR NOT OUT BINGING!

GOOD LUCK!

I KNOW YOUR FEELINGS RIGHT NOW, I WAS SO SCARED,NERVOUS-almost walked out that hospital w-just a gown(luckily my hubby was there to reassure me how far Ive gotten) cuz I was FREAKED OUT!! 7wks post-OP AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!! LOVE MY SLEEEEEVE!

YOU WILL TOOOOO!

Gastric Bypass is much more difficult to do with a big liver, hence the restrictive diet. My surgeon said it will obviously help the surgeon if your liver is reduced in size for the vertical sleeve op, but it's not as vital as it is with the bypass. You will be just fine, I am sure.

I messed up a bit on my diet too. They know we have trouble losing the weight, that's why we are getting the surgery. We are human.

My surgery is tomorrow and I only have to be on Clear Liquids today. I have made changes in my diet but still have eaten up until last night. Good luck!~

My surgery date is on the 16th which is this Tuesday.. in 2 days! Im starting to really freak out. I have been cheating on my diet and have only been doing 2 Protein shakes a day and one meal. I'm scared that I may end up having complications during surgery because of what I have been doing. Does anyone have suggestions? I have really been looking forward for this surgery for so long but now that it is actually near I'm getting more scared.

Does anyone know what type of complications is possible for someone who has been eating the 2 weeks they were supposed to be on liquid diet? I have lost 7 lbs d past 2 weeks but I'm still scared of the possible complications? '

Should I just cancel or postpone my surgery? HELP!!!

no, dont cancel your surgery! My surgery is wednesday and started my pre op diet today! Today and tomorrow I have to have 5 medifast shakes and at 6pm I drank 1/2 bottle of the liquid laxitive manesium sitrate (clear or green)same tomorrow and then the day before surgery is only Clear liquids...broth, Water, tea, coffee, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Just NO red food coloring. I think if you start now you will be fine! Good luck! See you on the other side!
