My surgery date came and went (12/4) because of gallstones in my ducts. I have to repeat the gallstone removal procedure (ERCP) again in mid-January. I am in limbo -- no surgery date, husband is not as supportive to pursue surgery sooner rather than later, and I'm to continue the Very Low Cal Diet (700 cals/day) that I've been on since the beginning of November (4 weeks pre-op). I am hungry. I am sad and horribly disappointed at the turn of events.
Encouragement, please. Pretty please?
In the second week of August. I've gone 3x, and now will meet for pre-op in November. I've got to do 4 weeks of VLCD beforehand. Been on it almost 2 weeks and have dropped some weight. Hoping to be -50 before surgery, I'm already -22.
Have you found a support group nearby?
Hi, just butting in…I'm going through LifeWeigh too…scheduled my date on Friday for 12/4. I've met with Dr. Rosen on my first appt., and the other day with Dr. Mikhail (surprisingly -- I thought I was meeting w/nurse practitioner). Totally liked both docs in conversation, seemed very easy to communicate with.
I'm in Lemont, scared, and looking for support too. Very happy to see some others nearby!
