Interesting . My doc not saying anything about taking liver pictures .

Has anyone utilized or recommends milk-thistle as part of the 3 to 6 month diet per-op?

What about compression stockings as I have varicose veins and wonder about blood clots re surgery?

You are worth it . Losing weight $6000.00 ..reducing diabetes high blood pressure cancer . priceless!!!! Love to u

Yes that is the risk ... the complications . I am afraid too .

Keep advocating for yourself .. This is what it is all about self care all the way !

Got it !

In otherwords we"ll have so much energy we can now do more and fantasize about it less .

I too worry about my Large Italian family gatherings and my outings with friends to various restaurants. I want to still be social and make good small choices . Does it make socializing awkward i wonder . I am sure I will have no problem letting anyone know i had surgery so as not to offend. I am scared but so happy to have this opportunity .
