oh wow! Well the good news is that you have a responsible team who dealt with the urgent matter first. I know it sucks and I can't imagine how disappointing it is but at least you are safe right now. I was told before I went in that it's possible they would abort the procedure if something comes up. I am sad for you that this happened. :( How shocking and a huge let down. How are you feeling?

OMG...sorry to hear that you went in for one procedure and woke up to another. Just look at it on the brighter side. I'm sure it will happen. It's just been delayed. Hang in there.

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that. I was waiting to see how you were doing. I used to see you on the pre op board a lot. Hang in there. July will be here before you know it.

I'm sorry you have to wait but it is good they discovered your spleen problem. I read A LOT before my surgery to find out all I could and did read that sometimes they do find the spleen needs to be removed but often they remove and proceed with the surgery - sounds like you had a special case.

Look at it this way....there is a reason - who knows why but you were not mean to have the sleeve that day. I am sure all will go well in July. Be patient (I guess you have to) and continue to work on your pre-op diet. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry :( That must have been so disappointing.

It's good that they were able to take care of your spleen though. July will be here before you know it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
