Mine was only 40 mins

Thank You Sleevy Wonder that gives me a little peace of mind. I lost 4 pounds in just 2 days of my liquid diet so I cant wait to see what I weigh tomorrow just being now 2 weeks on mostly liquids.

Thank You Inner Surfer Girl for the support it means a lot

I have surgery tomorrow!!!! I am starting to get nervous especially hearing all these stories about how the doctor didn't do the procedure due to the liver wasn't shrunk enough. Ive been following the liquid diet for the most part but have cheated a few times and now im starting to get worried that my liver hasn't shrunk enough. Ive already paid them and everything for the surgery and my insurance approved it and I wouldn't think that the doctor wouldn't do the procedure especially after its already been paid on my end. Ive had ice cream a few times, mac and chese ONCE only 4oz, a slice of homemade pizza and some little smokies but nothing major just some nipples. Will this effect me at all? Ive done mainly liquids the whole 2 weeks. I struggled in the beginning like most people.

Congratulations on setting your date! I am getting mine done November 4th. There are sooo many emotions and thoughts. I keep having to remind myself of all the positives that are going to come.

Such an exciting time for you also!

Good luck with pre-op stuff!

My surgery is on Nov 4th as well

Been on liquids since 10/21/15 and its been a little struggle in the beginning but now im starting to get things down.

I have BCBSNC and got an approval instantly and my surgeons office called me in 1 day and then i had to pay the remaining out of pocket which took me a week to do, once i did that they called the very next day and sheduled my surgery, liquid diet and pre op appt.

I can not believe that surgery is only 2 weeks away and im starting my liquid diet TOMORROW!! So nervous but super excited.

Lexigurl: I'm hoping to only be out a week but my surgeon is like 2 weeks but I go for post op on the 23rd and I'm gonna talk to him again about it and let him know what's going on

The way it's set up is to qualify for short term I have a physical and everything to go through and I'll already be out on my one year so I won't be able to get short term I can use my PTO but there's a whole week I have to be out where I won't be working at all and I'm gonna use it there so I at least get something

I cant take 2 days because they make you go through a physical and everything so I won't be getting it right away. I work for sitel in Asheville nc so I sit a a desk all day

if i post pone surgery until the 1st then my out of pocket starts over and i dont qualify for short term until after a year and i cant apply for short term until ive been there for a year and my year ia on 11/06/15 and surgery is 11/04/15

.

I am strugging to figure out how to pay my bills while im out for surgey because my doctor wont let me go back to work after a week i have to wait 2 weeks and i only have 15 hours of PTO saved.. I NEED HELP!!! Does anyone have any ideas?

I have surgery on Nov 4th at 1:00pm

Hello, I finally got my surgery date and it s Nov 4th at 1:00pm, i start liquids on the Oct. 21st and Pre Op appt on Oct 23rd, I am so excited for this new chapter in my life, its been a long 6 months working up to surgery with the pre op program and all the dr appts.I never thought it was gonna happen but here it is and i couldnt be happier. I have been reading like crazy on here and have heard of some good advice. The liquid diet is gonna be a struggle pre surgery but its all gonna be worth it. The reason im so excited is with the weight loss i can actually start doing more things with my son and feel comfortible doing it, I really just want him to be proud of me and i think with surgery its gonna help that happen because ill be alot happier about myself. Thank You in advance for all the support.

Thank You evryone i am so excited for the next chapter in my life..
