Fatty liver (aka NASH) is one of the qualifying co-morbidities. Only cure is weight loss. I was diagnosed prior to WLS, but surgeon re-confirmed & said it will resolve as I lose. Fatty liver can lead to cirrhosis.

You look gorgeous!!!! Great job! I get my sleeve at 9:15 in the morning--if I only have half as much success as you I will be thrilled!!!!!

Bags packed. Bowels are prepping...LOL. Now to just keep from going crazy before tomorrow.

Tomorrow. I'm terrified!!! But so excited!!

Also, just so you know, the test tube protein shots have sorbitol which will give you crazy diarrhea. We give it with charcoal in the ER to overdose patients because the charcoal binds with the meds & the sorbitol gets it out quick. I have also learned this from personal experience too--terrible diarrhea. Trust me!

I was given 6 packs of hibicleanse wipes--my instructions were to shower regularly night before-no lotion or anything after. Then, using 3 packages, wipe down front of neck, chest, abdomen, arms & legs, let dry then go to bed. Next morning, no shower & repeat the wipe procedure. No lotion or deodorant.

You look amazing!!!!

My surgeon has me on "lean & green" (low carb/high protein) until tomorrow and then tomorrow I start Clear Liquids and do the bowel prep for surgery on Monday. As long as you don't cheat tomorrow I think you'll be fine.

Just did!

I will be sleeved on Monday 4/22-I'm packing my bag for the hospital. My doctor said 3 day/2night stay. Any suggestions/advice on must-haves for the hospital?

OMG O_O I can't get over the difference. You rock girl!!! Congrats!!!!

I consider it "research" for my WLS options. I HAD to talk to other peopleto see what their experiences were. Lol. Research....not addiction.

My surgeons office said smokers are at huge risk for leaks. HUGE risk. I quit smoking about 5 years ago (part of why my weight shot up) & I'm really glad I did. I still want a cigarette I just remember how hard it was to quit & I don't want to have to start over. For your safety, at least try to stop pre-op & a few weeks post-op.

I'm having surgery on the 22nd too!!! We are sleeve sisters! I'm in Texas. I'm super nervous too!! But so ready to get on with my life!!!!!! We are gonna do great!!!

Y'all crack me up!! I'm so glad I'm gonna have y'all here on this forum after my surgery on Monday. I know this is a serious surgery for a serious issue but laughter is the BEST medicine and I love y'alls sense of humor!!!!!
