  1. Hoping someone can might know the answer. I was about as far along as possible last wed. in hospital and literally ready for surgery. My surgeon and the anestig. where speaking with me and my wife when I mentioned that I was having muscle cramps. Due to me being on a statin and the muscle cramps the surgeon felt that this elecvated my risk of complications for surgery so surgery was canceled until this wed. and I was taken off the statin(crestor). Here I am two days away again and I thought I would sail thru past week as I had already had dry run(lol) but has not happened. I can't get out of my mind maybe last week was a sign I should not do this now. I was wondering if I postpone will my insurance cover me for this in future.
  2. Hi my name is Bob M. and this is my first time on VST. I have been reading the forum since I started the process to surgey which is in two days. Dr. put me on 10 day liver strinking diet which is Protein drink breakfast, lunch and 4 oz lean protien at dinner. it includes veggies and fruit. I was 4 days in and had that fuzzy head feeling but has kinda past. What I have now is muscle cramping all over including in my stomach like charlie horses. I'm drinking my 64 oz + and I also have dry mouth. Anyone experience this? As days and hours click by I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but working out my own head games.
