my surgery is tomorrow and i am so nervous, dont know if my liver shrunk, worried they wont go thru with the surgery and if they do I am worried about a leak and the pain. my nerves are really getting me to the point i want to cancel the surgery. i know everything will be ok but my nerves are really shot right now. lol

Im 8/23 i work for the Dr's office nervous as hell. Starting my preop liquids today got a headache as I type don't know what im going to do

August 23 and I can't stop stuffing my damn mouth.

thanks for sharing, I'm gonna try. I don't know how this is possible and how everyone is doing it I seem so weak lol

and the weight just came off.

Did you exercise as well?

My pre surgical meeting is 8/14, I need to at least start my liquids no later than 8/7, I was a told something similar but it was so vague. I tried the slim fast shakes, they are pretty good. I just don't think 2 or 3 a days is going to do that job.

My surgery date is 8/23, my coordinator who I also work with says I need to lose 20 lbs. How they hell is this possible. I was thinking about starting my pre surgery liquid diet on 8/1 to give myself time to get use to just liquid. Does anybody else have to lose weight, if so, are you exercising? Did anyone get the surgery without pre op weight loss. Im just scared that I won't lose the weight and this would be all done in vein. Exactly what is everyone drinking since she just gave me a few options verbally. Broth, SF jello, water, like a fool I got a pen and paper thinking she was going to give me a list. YEAH NO!!! I just feel lost anyone have any suggestions.

I have aetna and I definitely did not have 24 months of weight loss history. I only had the 6 months that they required. I got a letter from one of my other providers stating that I have been trying to lose weight for 2 years. It was like 2 paragraphs stating my bmi and height. my history of weight loss attempts and methods. I work for the providers office that is doing my surgery on August 28th. I got approved in less than a week. So at least get the doctor who is not the primary care to write a letter stating you been trying for 2 years. hope this helps.
