Cancelled surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had so many fears just like that. It will be fine you're going through something many of us had. I used to drink a lot n thought they're going to get in there and my liver is going to be too enlarged... lol I'm 12 days post GBP and it all went well.

My doctor wasn't strict on the 2 week pre op diet. I still was supposed to get 800-1000 calories in with one of my meals being solid food. I did pretty good. Yesterday I had Soup for my Christmas dinner, but I did eat a peanut bar cookie thing, just 1. Now tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet and that's going to be a doozy but I only had to do that for 2 days. I'm just stressed and fearful about something going wrong. I've been waiting 2 years for this surgery. I just want everything to go well. My anxiety is just horrible these last couple of days.

Has anyone ever come out of surgery and been told they couldn't do the operation? It's one of my biggest fears and with surgery happening this Thursday, I'm so nervous.

Happened to me. After 3 of the 6 incisions, my 1st VSG attempt was aborted. I still had too much abdominal weight, which caused concerns and therefore aborted. I had successful VSG surgery 8 months later.

No but my surgeon said that if I had,requested anything except vsg he would've closed it up and canceled.

      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.
