JulieF 16 Posted March 26, 2013 Well, today was supposed to be the day. They had to abort the surgery due to an enlarged liver. The doc was unable to safely do the procedure. I am very disappointed, but I know it was for my safety. I'm sore, but am cleared to resume normal activities. I meet with the doc next week to discuss options. He feels that is I lose some more weight, he should be able to do the surgery around June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coco.c 11 Posted March 29, 2013 I am so sorry to hear this. Did the doc put you on a pre-op diet and were you able to stay on it? I see so many different diets here that the docs require, and I am just curious what you were on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JulieF 16 Posted March 30, 2013 Yes I was on liquids for two weeks. Other than a couple bowls of Soup during that time, I followed the plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rybecca20 160 Posted March 30, 2013 My liver was extremely large room my surgeon 5 hours to do surgery. He said I would of died soon of I had not had this done. I had no idea I had such a bad liver expect I did have problems but they never thought it was my liver. I am so happy my surgeon worked hard and got it done but I had an extremely hard recovery spending a week in the hospital praying for death ... That is how miserable I was. The doctor came out and told my mom how lucky I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JulieF 16 Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks all! The doc wants me to lose more weight, about 35 lbs. That would put me right about 300, with a BMI of 50. At that stage he feels the procedure should be a go! I'm having some good weeks, some not so good as fabr as weight lose goes! Hopefully by early June we can do the procedure!
