Heidi911 22 Posted November 18, 2023 My surgery is on Monday. I’ve started the clear liquid diet. I’m a little bit nervous because I’m high risk due to heart and kidney issues. But I’m excited. 1 2 Arabesque, BeanitoDiego and NickelChip reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heidi911 22 Posted November 18, 2023 Thank you. I know the doctor has said I may spend the night in ICU after surgery so I can be closely monitored but he is willing to do the surgery. I have kidney disease and the anesthesia may put me in temporary kidney failure and I have a heart block that needs a pacemaker but cardiology wanted to wait till after this surgery since it was already scheduled when we discovered the heart block when my heart paused for 5 seconds (they think it was a side effect of one of my medications) 1 BeanitoDiego reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
