im4givn 19 Posted July 11, 2016 I just received my approval and am on the schedule for August 1 @ 12:30. I have to be there by 10:30. I can have Clear liquids until 8:30 that am. Lots of Water to make my IV stick easier. I go in July 18 for pre-op work...which I assume is just blood work. I am very excited that is now approved and approaching quickly!!!!

im4givn 19 Posted July 11, 2016 It has seems to have been a long time coming. I started all this at the beginning of the year. I think the liver reduction diet makes me the most nervous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corr1970 26 Posted July 24, 2016 I'm Aug 1st too, I'm a little nervous but have had my appendix and gallbladder out and my surgeon said the recovery is about the same - after both of those surgeries I felt a little sore but nothing I couldn't handle. I read some scary stories about recovery so I'm just staying positive about my own. I'm a little worried about staying hydrated but figured I'll sip on Water all day. I'm excited about the new me and feeling healthy and happy again and to have more energy. Any suggestions on a brand of broth that tastes good?
