Luvin_Life125 558 Posted October 19, 2014 November 11th here! I am scheduled to do my pre-op H&P (including EKG, chest x-ray, lab work, etc ) on 10/22. My pre-op diet is scheduled to start 10/28, but I am really thinking about starting it 10/21 to make sure my liver shrinks enough to reduce the risk of surgery being cancelled. My liver labs were a bit elevated a few months ago and I don't even want to chance having my surgery cancelled once they cut me open. If I lose a few extra pounds before surgery that is a little bit more that I am ahead of the game on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyKidsMom89 70 Posted October 19, 2014 My surgery is schedule for November 3rd. I'm nervous... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyKidsMom89 70 Posted October 19, 2014 Me, too! I'm second guessing my decision but I know that's only natural. My only valid concern is whether I'll have a lot of loose skin, and I actually doubt that I will so I just have to tell myself to relax and put it in Gods hands.

Yes, that's a great feeling! Good luck to you all!!! OMG...I thought I was the only one bagging up old clothes. I started sorting clothes and getting rid of the big stuff I really don't like. My Support Group, recommended by my doctor has a clothes exchange for every stage. I am funny about buying my own stuff but can't wait to start donating. You should see if your Support Group has something like that, so you can donate to others going through this process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
