I am just very worried, they will say I won't make it.

Good Luck too you!!

25 days for me now! I've been one week with not a drop of diet coke (or any soda). Huge huge deal for me. Im very proud of myself for that, I gotta say. I decided to quit the soda before my pre op diet. Everything at once may be too overwhelming. 5'5" @ 250 28 yrs old. I want to say to everyone worried about the pre op diet and those who wonder why its necessary...idk if your doc told you but the diet is necessary to shrink your liver. The liver in someone who over eats and eats BADLY is very large and fatty, and its in the way for surgery. It bleeds very easily and the surgeon doesn't want any risk of nicking it. You could bleed to death! Please take the pre op diet seriously. If you go for surgery they'll know if your liver has shrank or if its still (obviously) in the way and fatty. They could send you right back home. For those of us going to mexico self pay, tht would REALLY suck. Just something to picture in your head when you're on pre op diet and you feel like cheating.

im hoping for march 6 - have 2nd consultation on monday the 18th - we will be setting a surgical date so i will know very soon - very excited - wish i was past the surgery too - just the "unknown" is what gets me a little crazy, but i know in my heart that this is the right thing for me to be doing.

I could image the anticipation ,I'm only 20 days out and so anxious,but I wish you luck

My surgery is March 4.and I wasn't never told to pre_op and I'm self pay going to Mexico

@leo you don't have a pre op diet to follow? Mine is for 10 days pre op. Low carb, low fat. Basically grilled chicken, green veggies, some citrus fruits, fish, protein shakes...

Well I will call Melissa today and get some info from her,Thanks I needed that info..
