GettingMyLifeBack!

Moncks Corner, SC

I am pre surgery, on my liver reduction plan and can not tolerate the sweetness either. I am really questioning my ability to drink them for the remaining of my life.

I am new here too. I just started my liver reduction diet and am pending insurance approval. I am tenatively scheduled for 12/15. I am having the bypass. I am so excited and scared!

I just moved to Moncks Corner, SC from FL. I have a tentative date of Dec 15 for surgery with Dr Mitchell in Charleston. I am still trying to decide bypass or sleeve, I have to decide by Monday - they are submitting everything for pre certification then. Any input from your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I met with the Dr. yesterday and started my liver reduction diet today. I am tentatively scheduled for Dec 15 - hopefully the pre-certification from the insurance will not delay it. I will be missing Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies this year, but I am thinking about all of the many wonderful holidays I will have with my family in the future!

Hi all! I am Lauran, I live in Florida. I met with my doc last week, I am in process of getting my pre-surgery testing completed...almost done! Once done I can schedule my surgery, almost certain it will be in September - that is my plan anyway I have been looking into this for a couple of years and am finally going to do it. Excited and terrified at the same time!

@@LindafromFlorida - Thank you!

@@swtpea637 - I am not too far from Orlando; I am in Winter Haven. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet, but I am hoping it will be in September. Are you scheduled yet?

I am in Winter Haven. I just started the process. Waiting to hear from the doc re: sleep study. Upper GI and GB sono scheduled. Surgery will be in Jacksonville by Arun Rao. Really excited but very scared as well. Not afraid of the surgery, afraid of not having my friend "comfort food", I fear that I will not be successful - based on prior experience. I am new to the area and don't have the support group that I need. Would love to buddy up with someone for support.
