Do they sedate you for the liver biopsy? If so' date=' it probably won't be so bad. I had to be awake while they put in a drain that required going through my liver. I didn't feel a thing, but the drain itself was painful for a few days.[/quote']

Ouch. They numb it. I just a wuss! Lol

My enzymes levels have been if the chart since the summer of 2011. With losing 85 pounds they are still really high. They wanted to do the biopsy before I had the RNY but I've put it off.

Do you use a lot if Tylenol? When my levels were wacky (and my dr was basically asking me if I was an alcoholic!) I think it was due to vicodin. Now that we can't take NSAIDS...I'm wondering if mine will be elevated again.

No Tylenol does nothing for me. I take narcs when I can't take my back or neck pain anymore. But my last draw they increased. Like I said I have other issues with other levels being high also.

Yea most people think you're alcoholic or a pill popper when the enzymes are high.

My oldest is having knee surgery Aug 7. So heading back home the first to see friends and take care of her for a few days after surgery then my mom will have to handle the rest unless I can convince her to come back here for a week. But that's unlikely since she hates this crazy oil boom town!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
