LoriRay reacted to amr2393 in Surgery Failed Today!
I'm sorry you are in pain but ur doc did the right thing. U can't tell you have an enlarged liver from bloodwork unless ur actual liver function is effected by it. When doing the sleeve surgery the doc has to be able to lift up the liver in order to complete the stapling all the way up to the esophagus area. Too large of a liver and he cannot safely do this because he cannot see where he needs to staple. I have seen this many times in the OR and trust me when I say it's better to abort than to proceed ahead. The liver is not an organ u wanna mess with.
I'm sorry again for the pain. Go back on ur preop diet to help shrink the liver and before u know it you will have had a successful sleeve surgery!

LoriRay got a reaction from sdb1147 in Sleeve One Week From Today
Hello,
I am from Saginaw Mi. Getting my sleeve done May 29th at Hurley Bariatric in Flint Mi. I have Dr. Farhan. Getting nervous and excited too. I am on my 2nd week of the liquid diet (UGGH)I cant wait to find a different protien shake to use. The ones they have us taking are horrible. Any suggestions? Just thought I would introduce myself.
