stickks 19 Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah. Well made it through the first day of the final three. I emailed w the patient coordinator and she said that if you cheat on the three day cleanse, the Dr will be able to tell when he or she opens you up. Is this true?

stickks 19 Posted September 17, 2012 What kind of meds do they give you in the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted September 17, 2012 @stickks she Is probably referring to the size of the liver and that has more to do with the pre op diet not the last 3 day cleanse. Actually since they are not opening up the intestines there is no way to tell, but this Dr has his reasons for making you do the 3 day cleanse. Not sure what that is cause some doc's don't require it. Really I think it is just the doc's preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stickks 19 Posted September 22, 2012 We were in the hospital 2 nights. Very nice. Brush up on your spanish though. Nurses speak very little english. Im doing well, just some bloating from the surgery, and soreness. Havent been able to drink more than a few sips of Gatorade at a time without feeling full. I guess that is a good thing. We are staying two nights at the hotel, then flying back Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
