No, he didn't open and measure the liver. The fact is that most WLS candidates have enlarged/ fatty livers. The liver lies in front of the area he must operate on. In order to access it he must use retractors and move it out of the way. If it is overly large or firm it could become difficult to move. Moving it could result in laceration of the liver. There are many cases of patients waking up in recovery with the incisions and recovery time but no sleeve because contrary to your assumption that they are all too money hungry to use sound medical judgement, most do. If fact, if you have a Dr that you believe will crack and whack whether it is safe for his patient or not you really should run.

If the Protein shakes are upsetting your tummy, I'd try lactose-free ones. I can't do anything that has lactose in it either.
I'm on day five of liquid and I do think of chomping into something delish--but haven't so far. I'm doing it with my husband which makes it a lot easier but the hardest thing is wanting a nap and being tired all the time.
Hang in there, and get back on that horsey!

I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I found a great therapist to help me.
I used to be a compulsive binge eater - food was how I coped with my feelings and emotions, and I had eaten myself up to 370 pounds by the time I was 21.
It took a while to find a good therapist, but she completely changed my life. She used a workbook called "Don't Diet, Live It" (it's on Amazon). I would fill out the workbook chapters and then we would use that as a starting point for our sessions. When I started seeing her, I was suicidal, had social anxiety so bad that I was afraid to leave my house alone, and I was terrified of other people (especially men). Afterwards, zero anxiety, virtually no more fear, reduced depression and I've barely felt suicidal since (as opposed to every single day prior to getting help). It completely changed my life and my outlook.
If anyone has any questions about it, they can message me. OP, I wish you the best, I know how frustrating it is. Good luck!

UPDATE: Sleeved may 15th

You will not fail because we won't let you. I use to think the sleeve was not going to work for me but I'm losing weight inspite of what I do. Remember this is just a tool and the rest is up to you. I believe in you and you will not fail. Congrats on your journey.
