How is everyone doing??????

Hey! hows it going??? Its been a while and I havent gotten the chance to meet you yet. Support meetings are getting crowded! you should come out sometime! Stay in touch, us locals gotta support each other....hope things are going well for ya!

Support is key to getting through this. And read as much as you can and understand that the bad posts really are few and between compared to the positives. Stay focused and know you have friends going through this with you. My pre op was the 5 shakes a day, sugar free jello/popcicles and broth of my choice. I can send you details, but your doc will probably have his own. And most importantly, know that the pre-op is more than just shrinking your liver. Its too firm it up as well. This is so important when you have your sugery. My insurance allows for one attempt. If they go in and the liver is in the way, no second chance. So the initiative to stay focused is pretty high for me! and lastly...saw your profile and Im a Navy husband! LOL

Wich drink did you end up going with? We were kind of dissapointed with that meeting...we knew all that info already, we were kinda looking for the secret "how to" and "what to" do tips. But oh well...I completely understand the last minute fill in thing too. But do me a favor! Stay in touch and let me know things you learn along the way!

BCBS of Georgia....we set a date for May the 5th! easy to remember it! Going hard core on the diet, then liquids 2 weeks prior....game on!

thanks for adding me...Have my last visit with Dr. Griffin Monday....then surgery date if approved...I will let ya know!
