surgery tomorrow, 1 main concern



Recommended Posts

Im scheduled tomorrow 5/7 at 930AM but im so scared to have my surgery aborted due to an enlarged liver like i have heard it happening to so many people. My highest weight was last December 339 and today im 304, have lost 35 lbs since then most of it coming within the past 2 1/2 months . Any suggestions to calm me down? Will i be ok? Anyone have any experiences to share?

have you been on a liquid diet? they usually put you on that two weeks or so prior... so that helped reduce the size of the liver...if you have lost weight, then you will probably be ok...

some doctors don't even require it...so relax

Relax!!! Don't worry about something you can't change by tomirrow. Trust that you have done your part and things will work out either way. If it does not happen tomorrow, there maybe a good reason. If you can't shake this worry, call your surgeon's office, they may be able to helo ease your worry.

We were all nervous. Only you can calm yourself down. Get busy and distract yourself. Clean your closet (I did lol!). I was 30 minutes from the OR and they were deciding I if I was too dehydrated. God is in control. You will be fine. God Bless!

Hello Jose,

I am going in tomorrow at 930 AM as well. I agree with everyone here...relax and keep calm. You do not need to be going into a surgery day all worked up. You have done your part and stay positive that all the rest will take care of itself.

Please keep me posted on your progress! Best of luck to you!!! :-)

My doctor does not require the pre open dieting. He said it doesn't really make a difference. My surgery is 8:30 tomorrow. I am a former band gone wrong! It's been 4years and I have gained all my weight back. Sleeve here I come! So excited!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
