Surgery didn't happen for me



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for July 10th and my Dr was in and when he went to lift my liver he found two masses on it. He has sent off a biopsy and should get the results Tuesday or Wednesday, but I can't tell you how disappointing this all is. Same pain and procedure minus the sleeve. I'm certain the biopsy will turn out benign and we will schedule another date then.

I had a very large mass on my liver, too. My doctor removed it and did the surgery. You'll have your surgery and this will be nothing but a blip on the radar eventually.

Ugh! The soreness from the surgery is not bad. I'm depressed from the meds I think. Also the fact this happened for nothing this time around. I'm ready to get the results and get scheduled to make this happen!

How frustrating! I can only imagine how disappointing that will be. Sending thoughts your way that the biopsy comes back clear and that you are quickly put back on track for your surgery!

Thank you all for your kind words. I will say of this is the pain that I can expect after surgery I will be good to go! No pain medicine at all today. I have been able to move around the house and piddle in the kitchen. I don't think I will hardly be ready for work tomorrow, but maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. I will say I am eating a cheeseburger this afternoon and I don't feel the least bit guilty about it! After that back on my liquid so I will be ready when he can get me back on the schedule!

Wishing you the best.

This is a positive thing. Don't look upon it with negative thoughts.

Absolutely not! I believe in divine intervention and I know it didn't happen for A reason. It will happen eventually.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
