  8. Thanks for the reply! I hadn't heard of anyone else not having to go through an extended pre-op diet period so that does make me feel better. The scene that keeps playing through my mind is surgery day arriving, he opens me up and the whole team gasps at my freakishly large liver. One dude actually take a (illegal) photo to post on his Instagram later, #poorprep. Meanwhile, the doctor sews me back up without sleeving me enters a tailspin of a career crisis and I have to start over finding a new doctor. But hey! I'd get to spend that FSA money after all!
  9. Last week I returned from vacationing out of the country to find out my surgery has been scheduled for December the 19th. (!!) I'm so happy to be moving forward that I don't even mind that the money I elected for my 2017 medical FSA is going to pretty much be pointless now. One thing that does concern me is that my surgeon basically requires NO pre-op diet. Just liquids after 6pm the night before and NPO after midnight. Should I just go with it? Should I put myself on a liquid diet?
  10. Hi, Felicia- I am scheduled this month with Dr. Williams. Were you happy with him? I'm getting nervous because his preop instructions seem so relaxed! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App
