Surgery Monday Morning

[amfw 18]

I am having my surgery on July 30 and I am really worried that i haven't lost enough weight and my surgeon will tell me that my liver is to big. That's the main thing that I am worried about right now. My scale at home says that I have dropped two pounds since like Thursday (I think) but I'm still worried. Is anyone else having last minutes anxiety?

Hi Amanda,

I think you will be fine. Calm down and believe things will go smoothly. Keep with your pre-op diet. I have not had my Sleeve surgery but I had Lapband surgery. I followed the protocol of the pre op and my surgery went smoothly. This is your time so stick to the plan and own "your time"....no need to worry. Make Sunday your best pre-op day. Michelle.

Hi Amanda, I haven't lost much on my pre-op diet either. I wouldn't worry. I saw my surgeon last Tuesday and told him I've been following the diet to a T but only lost a few pounds. He did not seem concerned at all. I'm sure we will be fine. I hear ya though I keep having what if thoughts as it gets nearer and nearer. Hang in there!

I know how you feel my surgery is august 1st and the scale is playing with me. I'm starting a liquid diet tomorrow till Wednesday, hopefully that will take off those 2 nasty pounds that came out of no where.

Thanks y'all. I weighed this morning and I'm down to 256 from 270. I'm ready and excited to start this new chapter in my life

You're down 14 pounds! That's awesome =) I doubt your surgeon will have any issue, it does sound like you've lost quite a bit already. I just realized too as I was typing this that today is the 30th, so today is surgery! Yay! Let us know how things go.

Yes, congrats on you on your surgery today. Also, Nina88, congrats on your 8.01 surgery on Wednesday. We're all soon to be LOSERS, yay!!!!
