  1. Huge Disappointment

    · hbatson75 · 09/12/2012 12:56

    Well, I got all prepped for surgery, went under and they cut me open and moved stuff around, then found my liver was 2 ½ times the normal size, so they could not safely do the surgery and they closed me up.
    I have 5 incisions/stitches and they took a liver biopsy.
    He is going to have me on another 6 weeks of a liquid diet and then they will try again, so I will have to reschedule the surgery.
    I am sooooo disappointed and not looking forward to another 6 wks of liquid. I had been to the grocery store and stocked up on what I needed post-op.
    I was perfect on my diet and lost 24 lbs during the 2 weeks, but I'm a big girl and need more time for my liver to shrink. He also mentioned that in another 6 weeks, if it is still not down enough that he may go ahead and do the sleeve(with my permission of course). Congrats to all my other Sept 11th bandsters that had success.

  2. Stress Test

    · hbatson75 · 09/06/2012 15:44

    Well, I just completed my first stress test ever and I didn't fall dead off the bike, so I consider it a good day. Not sure if I passed/failed...they always just look at you and smile. It would be nice if they had a "fat" person seat on the bike, after all, this was a stress test for the band and big people have to sit on that thing. Not to mention the fact that you have to jump up on it.....not a pretty sight.
    Anyway, 6 months of dietitian classes, therapy, sleep studies, ekg's, stress tests and paperwork later, and my surgery is this Tuesday!
    I can't wait...I'm tired of the BA bars and those nasty shakes. I've got some Unjury samples on the way and a GNC chocolate protein mix on the way thanks to some helpful suggestions.
    Have a great day banders!
