surgery tomorrow, 1 main concern



Recommended Posts

Im scheduled tomorrow 5/7 at 930AM but im so scared to have my surgery aborted due to an enlarged liver like i have heard it happening to so many people. My highest weight was last December 339 and today im 304, have lost 35 lbs since then most of it coming within the past 2 1/2 months . Any suggestions to calm me down? Will i be ok? Anyone have any experiences to share?

have you been on a liquid diet? they usually put you on that two weeks or so prior... so that helped reduce the size of the liver...if you have lost weight, then you will probably be ok...

some doctors don't even require it...so relax

Relax!!! Don't worry about something you can't change by tomirrow. Trust that you have done your part and things will work out either way. If it does not happen tomorrow, there maybe a good reason. If you can't shake this worry, call your surgeon's office, they may be able to helo ease your worry.

We were all nervous. Only you can calm yourself down. Get busy and distract yourself. Clean your closet (I did lol!). I was 30 minutes from the OR and they were deciding I if I was too dehydrated. God is in control. You will be fine. God Bless!

Hello Jose,

I am going in tomorrow at 930 AM as well. I agree with everyone here...relax and keep calm. You do not need to be going into a surgery day all worked up. You have done your part and stay positive that all the rest will take care of itself.

Please keep me posted on your progress! Best of luck to you!!! :-)

My doctor does not require the pre open dieting. He said it doesn't really make a difference. My surgery is 8:30 tomorrow. I am a former band gone wrong! It's been 4years and I have gained all my weight back. Sleeve here I come! So excited!

      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.
