My surgery is scheduled on dec 31st..Happy New Year to me.originally I was going to be a self pay in Mexico but my job finally gave me health insurance(I work at a restaurant that's nota chain so it's fairly common to not be covered)I jumped through all the health insurance hoops and actually got approved fairly quickly.i started my pre op 2 week liquid diet over a week ago and have struggled greatly with it..I have cheated 3 times so far.strangely I have still lost 12 pounds so far.my question is..am I screwed?will I get to the hospital and they will some how know I cheated and won't perform the surgery???i need this surgery..I need to get healthier and want a long life.this was the first holidays in 26 years I wasn't with family.it was very lonely.its no excuse for eating though.its amazing the battle you have with your mind...

I was told that they will just go in and absolutely close you up without doing the Surgery if they caint work around your liver because it's Fatty. Even or the fact that I had to sign a surgical consent given them permission to do an Open Sleeve surgery ( cut you from top to bottom of your abdomen ) if they caint get to your stomach due to a fatty liver. Keeping it Real Wow That convinced me to follow the pre op diet I didn't want the large scar. Or cancel months of hard work. I was shock to see open surgery on the consent!!!

yes you r right I heard the same thing

Well that's my cross to bare if that happens..I have lost 15 pounds so far.im being very careful the next few days till my surgery.im not a typical American I take full responsibility for my actions..I understood what the 2 weeks were for.ill hope for the best.if for some reason they can't perform the surgery then I'll have a lot more time for reflection.ill just stay positive and calm.no sense making myself sick with worry.

Think you will be ok, 15lbs loss shows you're on the right road! Being calm is a great asset when you get sleeved because things will happen, like stalls, and you need to be calm and patient....

15 pounds in 1 1/2 weeks that's amazing
