Why Pre-Op?

Do everyone have to go on a pre-op diet before surgery, and if so for how long? Also why does the liver have to be shrunk before hand?

Killing Herself

One of my best friends had the gastric sleeve surgery last Feb. She has lost about 130 lbs, and now weighs in at 165lbs. Personally I wish she was still a big girl, the reason why is because she was healthier when she was fat. She had surgery for all the wrong reasons and didn't do anything the doctor told her to from day one. Since she had her surgery, I believe she has been to the doctor only 2X.......................seriously are you freakin' kidding me?   She doesn't follow any of the rules, that you suppose follow after WLS and the only thing she eats is a sh*tload of candy and junk food. Oh and salads. She might nibble on a piece of fish here or there ands when she tries to eat real food which is probably once or twice aweek, you guessed it, she throw up immediately. I am so worried about her and keep telling her that she needs to go to the doctor or go talk to a therapist or something...............................................her answer is, I AM SKINNY SO I AM HEALTHY!!!!! No you aren't healthy when you look sick and fragile. The kicker is she still think she is fat and want to lose 25 more lbs.   Now that I have started my journey I can not worry about her. I don't mean to sound uncaring but she is older than me and she knows better, am I being selfish feeling this way? I have been trying to get her to go check on herself since last year and obviously you can led a horse to water but can't get it to drink. She is happy about me getting surgery and was like oh we are going to be throwing up together when you can't eat, and I was like sorry but no we arent because I am going to follow what my surgeon and nutrtionalist tells me from A-Z.   A part of me feels bad that now I feel like whatever will be will be with her. The other part is telling me that I have done all that I can do and have to concentrate on me and what I have to do for my surgery when it comes up. Thanks for listening guys.

Piercings............................................

I have quite a few piercings, some you can see and some that are let's just say.............................I am very fond of them*lol* . Is it true that I have to take them ALL out for my surgery? I heard that I can put retainers, but don't know if that is true or not, please advise.

Almost There....................................

I wanted to share some good news with y'all. When I go see my NUT on the 21st of this month, I am going to meet with my surgeon also. It looks like all my paper work is in order and I get to sign the consent forms for my surgery the same day. So after I sign the forms they send them to my insurance company and about a week or so after that, I should have a surgery date. I am so excited talk about being one step closer. You guys please pray and send me positive thoughts that all goes as plans.

One Step Closer..................................................

Hey guys how are you all doing out there? I was just sitting here thinking about this journey I have started on May 21st, and how smooth the progress is going along, and God is good all the time. I feel sorry for those who doesn't realize that. Tuesday I go to my PCP and they are going to take an EKG, no worries, nothing is wrong it is just routine . My surgeon told me if I get a copy of it, I won't have to take another one on their end which is wonderful, so that means other than getting my appt for the pysch all my test will be completed.   So this had me thinking.............................do you realize that each thing we do gets us one step closer to reaching our goals and to having surgery, and that is just a great feeling. With this said if any of you are feelin discouraged, please don't give up because your time is going. Every little step we take is really a huge one if we look at it. I so can't wait to be on the LOSERS bench, and just wanted to share this feeling with you. Continued blessings. :wub:
