work-in-progress

I have Kaiser and Im in Long Beach, Ca

OK I'm in New York

Different doctors have different pre-op prep but the purpose of the 2 week liquid diet is to decrease the size of your liver so the surgeon has better access to your stomach and lessen complications

Am I the only one that didn't really have a preop diet? My surgery is on Friday and I only have to do liquids only for wednesday and thursday. Its so amazing to me that some of you have had to do a MONTH of that!

Where are you having the surgery?

I'm scheduled for Aug 25 .....beginning to get nervous about the pain I have a very low threshold for pain and I refuse to crush any medicine

I am 1 week pre-op as of tomorrow I started my 2 week liquid diet last week its not as bad as I thought it would be
