I dipped my carrots in hot sauce pre op lol anything for flavor!

I agree go on the cruise! Enjoy some time with your family before you have your surgery. There is no way of telling how you will feel after surgery.

Same here! I can tell you when the last time was that I wore shorts or a bathing suit. Also go swimming with my kiddos they were always begging for me to get in the pool with them so now I can!

Congratulations! Baby steps next!

If you didnt have these thoughts then I'd say you weren't normal lol!!! I cried the day I had to start my liquid diet and ended up starting it two days later so I could binge! I will tell u this I was also told no guzzling fluids but when I went to my follow up the Dr actually asked if I had. I said accidentally I did it and was scared after I did it. He asked me me how it felt and I said fine. He said if u can tolerate it go for it but try not to make it a everytime habit! Also you will be able to jave thing you love down the road! I have a few friends who have had this surgery a few years ago and they do enjoy having a beer they do enjoy having a favorite food from time to time! Its just a matter of control! You can do this! I did this for a few different reasons : i wanted to be around for my kids and future grandkids! I wanted to be able to go out and play with my kids without running out of breath. My knee I had surgery on about 4 yrs ago was killing me. I didn't want a full knee replacement at 32!! Btw I have lost 25lbs already and my knee feels great! Also I didnt want health issues and I knew if I stayed on this path I was on I would! So again if u arent feeling scared and you arent questioning yourself u are not normal!!! I hope it all works out for you!

Wow a lot of people had to work to have this done! I went to their website and did some research. They required u watched a presentation on their web page and take the test after. I called and made my appointment to meet the surgeon. After that I had to meet with a nutritionist get an ok with my pcp do some blood work and journal my god intake for a few weeks. Complete my psych veal and attend my liver reduction class. That was all. It took me a year because getting in all my stuff and offices were scheduling out farther than usual.

The paper I had to sign for my surgery stated that I wouldn't plan on getting pregnant for 18 months. That was his General thought for everyone that had surgery

Do you have a deductable to meet?

Mine was 7. Your lucky!

I would definitely talk to your surgeon. When I met my surgeon he mentioned that if they go in amd find that the gallbladder is in bad shape they would be taking that out as well.

I go by my tummy making all the noises and thats when I usually stop lol

Thats my only fear lol. After having my kids I was quite happy with my cups haha

I guess it wouldnt hurt to look into it. Get some answers!

So are we there lol

There is a tool that u blow into like they would with alcohol
