Hey guys. I have surgery in 7 days time. I'm obviously on the pre op diet stage...however last night I had a binge. Eating lots of things I shouldn't have. Will it matter? Will it effect surgery? I'm worried my liver will have gotten bigger again as I'm supposed to be shrinking it. Any advice would be wonderful. Thankyou...and I hope any fellow sleeved are doing well post surgery. X

call me mean if you like but if you want someone to tell you its okay, sorry up front.

This is the time you need to reflect and learn from past bad habits, and if you can not do that then perhaps you have not made the right decision for your future. Can you get away with it this time without negative consequences, sure, but at what point will you become accountable for what you do and stop doing it? That is the question you really have to ask yourself. The pre-phase is not just to shrink your liver it is also to get you to change your bad habits and get you to take charge of your health. I am sorry to be blunt but if you are seriously going to do this and do it right the time for excuses and regret are over. If you do this after surgery you can seriously impact your health and possibly even endanger your life, that is a very real fact. If you are not going to become 100% committed to this life change do not endanger yourself. If this is what you want you have to take charge and change your whole lifestyle, if you are not ready to make that step, then maybe you are not truly ready for this.

      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.
