Well, today was supposed to be the day. They had to abort the surgery due to an enlarged liver. The doc was unable to safely do the procedure. I am very disappointed, but I know it was for my safety. I'm sore, but am cleared to resume normal activities. I meet with the doc next week to discuss options. He feels that is I lose some more weight, he should be able to do the surgery around June.

OMG so sorry to hear that! try and take care.

And I'm hoping this setback is only temporary.

I am so sorry to hear this. Did the doc put you on a pre-op diet and were you able to stay on it? I see so many different diets here that the docs require, and I am just curious what you were on.

Yes I was on liquids for two weeks. Other than a couple bowls of soup during that time, I followed the plan.

Hopefully your doc will have a plan that will be helpful. I am so sorry for now, but don't lose faith.

My liver was extremely large room my surgeon 5 hours to do surgery. He said I would of died soon of I had not had this done. I had no idea I had such a bad liver expect I did have problems but they never thought it was my liver. I am so happy my surgeon worked hard and got it done but I had an extremely hard recovery spending a week in the hospital praying for death ... That is how miserable I was. The doctor came out and told my mom how lucky I was.

I am so sorry to hear that you had to go thru all that . But I am sure you and your dr. will think of something in the near future. Better you be safe for now.I am sure it will work out for you. Will say a little prayer for your future journey.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

*HUGS* I am so sorry! I know psychologically it hurts but had something gone wrong - it could be worse. He'll do it when it's safe for you!

Any new updates?

Thanks all! The doc wants me to lose more weight, about 35 lbs. That would put me right about 300, with a BMI of 50. At that stage he feels the procedure should be a go! I'm having some good weeks, some not so good as fabr as weight lose goes! Hopefully by early June we can do the procedure!
