I've started my pre-op diet early to be proactive. I realize that after the surgery, for the rest of my life, my food choices will have to change. I started on 8/9/15, in the afternoon. I knew that 98% of my struggles would be mental, feeling like I needed more food. So I kept telling myself that I'm eating more than enough. After the fourth day, I was fine. Ladies and gentlemen, we can do this. Everyone has their own story. But we also have things in common. We want to work our way back to health. For me, I'm fighting my way to the real me. The active, fun going, tomboyish me. And I'm going to get there. We are all going to get there. Be encouraged.

I hope it works too. Good luck!

Good luck on your journey too! ???? xo

I'd try to get every visit you've had. And definitely use the visit with your gyn 7 years ago. That way, it will show that you have had a problem for at least five years. My insurance wanted that too.

I'm pre-op too. I'm just waiting to meet with my surgeon, do my psych evaluation, and get my surgery date in a couple of weeks. I'm really excited!!

Hi @, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who decided to be proactive. I'm waiting for my approval to schedule to see my surgeon. I know by faith it will happen and I have started a pre-op diet. I have 4 protein shakes, 2 broths, 1 serving of skim milk, 1 low sodium vegetable juice, and 1 sugar free jello. I'm starting on my second week. I'm completely excited for my surgery!!! ????

I've had an EGD diagnostic and a Nuclear Hepatobiliary Scan with Gallbladder Ejection Fraction (HIDA Scan). The EGD went fine. They put you out for the procedure. The HIDA Scan just takes a while to complete. There's nothing to it.
