I cheated on my pre-op diet ALL weekend and I feel awful. Besides that my stomach is mad at me, I feel so guilty. I feel like such a failure. Thank goodness I've seen the light, but I am soooo worried. My surgery is 1 week from today and I'm worried my liver won't be small enough to do the surgery. What am I gonna do?? What if they turn me away?? Is there any way to shrink my liver in 1 week???

Please help! I'm desperate :wub:

Hi Everyone! I'm Banded!! I just wanted to post an update. My surgery was on Monday 8/9/10. My doctor knew I cheated and he was ok with it. When I came to, the first thing I asked was if my liver was small enough. He answered "It could have been smaller, but I managed." lol

Everything went very smoothly, My nursing staff was amazing and now I'm at home resting and healing.

They you all again for your support and advice. I really appreciate it :w00t:

congrats vflores! My surgery was fine and I was a cheater too :thumbup: I came clean with them right before but I think because my BMI was pretty low they just went right on ahead with it.

I am NOT condoning it...you should always follow your doctor's advice but I just want you to have the facts. I think we need to be truthful so that others can learn from our experience and decide for themselves what to do.

Ok, I am due to have my surgery on Monday 16th August 2010... I have not been told about any pre-op diet... should i be doing something. please help.
