Babysoftly 0 Posted June 14, 2008 I am back from hospital and I didn't get banded yesterday... my liver is still too big :sad: The surgeon was lovely and he explained that it's one of those things... like some people are born with big feet I'm born with a big liver. So I have a month to get it down... He says I am not the first and another lady had the same as me but she got banded a month later. I am sore and glued.

Lunabeane 2 Posted June 15, 2008 I'm so sorry for your disappointment. Did the Dr. put you on a high Protein low carb diet? A friend of mine had to go on a one month liquid diet to shrink her liver prior to surgery...she was successful and banded a month later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babysoftly 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Yes he did but I'm obviously one of those ones who has to go liquid for a month I think :frown: But I will do it because it is a huge disappointment, I was all geared up for it and everything... plus I now have cuts and all for nothing :smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debbie1705 2 Posted June 15, 2008 Hi Baby, oh i really do feel your pain, thats not nice at all. But look at it this way, its safer to be operated on in a safe situation, and also if you are on a mass shrinking mission you are going to loss weight like you would if you were banded anyway, then once you are banded you are gonna lose more weight so it will work out to be happy days in the end. Try remain positive we are all here for you hun... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spabes 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Hi baby, sorry to hear about your dissapointment, like the other have said try and stay positive,in a just a few short months you'll be looking back at this and will realise that it was much better to be safe rather than sorry. Good luck with the new diet hun, it'll all be worth it! Jules xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
