You are better off telling ur surgeon then waking up from surgery to find out he couldn't operate and closed u back up or for something to go wrong on the operating table. Just remember mind over matter. Gl

^This for sure. Happened to one of the patients in the wing where I was recovering in. Doctor started in and found the liver to large and shut down the surgery.

I would say something to your surgeon ASAP. Aside from the fact the the pre-up diet is a foreshadowing of sorts to show your what life will be like post-op, it's also created for a reason. To reduce your fatty liver, to assist with the transition post-op, to make sure your stomach is 110% empty and ready to go. These are essentially doctors orders!! Call tomorrow morning - that way, if you have to reschedule, you'll get the earliest possible date.

Also, your surgeon will still charge you/your insurance company even if they open you up to discover they can't continue with surgery just the same if they completed the procedure. And you don't want to pay for something that didn't happen!

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
