Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

12 hours til I head to the hospital. Im so excited! I just cant wait. Hope I can sleep tonight!

Hope to post on here tomorrow night after surgery...if I feel up to it.

Hello all. I will be a Mar. bandster. I noticed a lot of differences in pre-op diets. I have two weeks of Slimfast Optima. After the first 3 or four days I can have a veggie salad, fat-free dressing once a day. Start 2-21. They say this helps shrink your liver, which makes the surgery safer.

Good luck today everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

OK:cool: trying to be cool about this... Not!!!LOL:biggrin1:

I have my surgery for 2-21-07. My doc asked if I wanted it for 2-14 but I laughed and said No, My DH's Birthday is that day, so I don't think thats how he wants to not only spend his Birthday but Valentines Day. No:lol:

So it will be the 21st instead. Not too long now!!!!:clap2:

Question: My doc says I need to do the 1st part of South Beach before my surgery not the all liquid. Anyone else doing it this way?

I am really going to ask my Doc why there are so many different aproaches to the time before surgery! You would think that there should be a set of guidlines t follow and these docs are all over the place!

Seems kinda crazy!

Good luck to you guys on todays date

Chris

Good Luck Today !!!

Chris- most doctors want you on some sort of a diet to shrink your liver before surgery. Some have very strict guidelines to follow and others don't seem to mind. It is the doctors personal preference.

Chris - My doctor has me doing Atkins, which is very similar to South Beach. I've lost 6 lbs since Saturday

Thanks for the replies and stuff. I know my doc just said that it's best to have my liver as small as possible so the surgery will go better. I feel like i've been eating the last supper everyday.. ugh!! I can't stop the feeling hungry.

10 days til surgery - woohoo!

I want to get into a size 10-12 ! That's my goal - I have big bones!

Tracy am i reading correctly, Are you approved????
