Chellennunley 62 Posted August 2, 2013 Surgery was yesterday. I just got home. :-). Everything went really well! Lost 29.7 lbs on the liquid diet. My dr said had not been so faithful on the diet, he would not have been able to do the surgery as my liver was still enlarged! He had to make a couple extra cuts, I have 8. But the only pain medication I had was for the 2 hr trip home. I had to walk 20 laps (which equaled 2 miles) before I could go home. I'm also an a clear liquid diet till my follow up with him a week from today. So thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement! So glad to be on the losers bench!! 6 Greeknugget, Mocha2871, MaggieMae and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted August 2, 2013 Good grief! They made you walk 2 miles before you could go home? I'd still be there (mine was on Jul 16th)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SarahBeth1217 19 Posted August 5, 2013 You didn't get any pain meds for at home? How are you doing? I'm over a week out and still taking my pain meds because my incisions still hurt. Bless you for your strength! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
