Don't panic until you find out what your doctor's pre-op diet is. I read all these posts about liquids diets' date=' then when I got my instructions, I only had to do low carb. Heck, that's Atkins! And how many times have I done that before? I was so releaved. I am day 5 of the pre-op, with surgery Monday the 11th![/quote']

I actually didn't have much of a pre-op diet. Liquids on Sunday, surgery is on Monday.

Mouseonthemile I asked my dr specifically why the liver needed to be shrunk. He said that it was mostly a "technical" issue. The liver sits on top of the stomach and it makes it easier for the doc to sleeve the stomach when the liver is not in the way. Otherwise it gets in the way and they have to prop it up .... Blablablabla. I would like solid food thank you, just prop it up!

APPROVED BY INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First submission, and it was approved a week later. I called every day! Now just waiting for the hospital scheduler to call and set up my surgery date, and get my pre-op labs taken care of! SO EXCITED TO BE SLEEVED IN 2013!

I'm still hoping to get sleeved in November, but it may be December... We shall see...

My friend was told that when the liver is too big if the method is laparoscopic, it causes more activity to be done in those small incisions. Which would lead to additional pain during recovery.

And the potential for necessary open surgery vs. laparoscopic. Nobody wants that if they can help it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
