JULY surgery dates!

[Shaunie 123]

The pre op diet is to reduce the size of your liver. This is so surgery is easier for the surgeon and yourself. Your liver lies on top of your stomach dome peoples more then others. Surgeon is able it access the stomach easier if liver is reduced.

Good luck :-)

Insurance finally approved me and I am scheduled for a band to bypass next Wednesday, July 20th! I am so glad to be a part of this July group!

I kind of didn't follow the 2 week diet but still been drinking my Protein and they say my B lvl for liver is high will it still be possible to get surgery or no?

This could be problematic for a safe surgery. I have heard that surgeon's have cancelled or stopped surgery if the liver has not shrunk. I'm also concerned that if you couldn't do pre-op diet - how are you going to stick to post-op diet? It's dangerous to go off plan.

I agree it makes ot dangerous :-(

It depends on the surgeon but also in the patient. If you have been prescribed a pre-op diet - it's important to stick with it! It's to ensure a safer surgery. Post-op diets vary too - but you need to follow YOUR diet as prescribed by your surgeon. You risk significant complications - some life threatening!

Hope you make out okay at your appointment.

I was put on 3 Protein Shakes and two cups of cranberry 5juice a day. Some days I only have two Protein shakes and 1 cup of juice.... hopefully that doesn't cause issues. I'm not 100% following the diet, but I just can't get another shake in, but I haven't cheated with food. I have tried chicken broth, it makes me feel sick and goes right through me. I do drink Water non stop all day. Surgery is Thursday.

I thought your suppose to avoid carbs, they enlarge your liver

Here I am 6 hours post-op in very little pain, have only mild nausea (not requiring Zofran,) & I have already drunk 39 oz of water! I was so scared this morning. I have not had any pain meds but Tylenol since PACU. I hope some people out there will read this msg that surgery may not be as scary as other posters have made it out to be! Boy, am I lucky!

Wow quite a few of us with dates in July.... I am scheduled for July 28th. I am very excited. Has anyone gotten their pre op instructions yet?

We have the same date I started my pre op diet today

I had my surgery July 13, they kept me in the hospital for two days because of nausea. I'm doing well, no pain since the 2nd day home, no troubles eating my soft stage 2 foods, I gained 9 lbs in the hospital, but have lost it now. Almost all the bloating is gone. I think my diabetes is in remission

We are having surgery the same day, how are you feeling?

.

I am a tiny bit nervous but mostly excited. I think insurance putting up a fight about covering it has really made me appreciate being able to get it. I am ready to get this weight loss started. How are you feeling as its getting closer?

Charliewt216: I had my RNY 9 hrs ago & have had very little pain (nothing but Tyelnol since PACU). It

just hurts when I sit up, using my abs. My throat is a little raw from the endotracheal tube, too. I've had zero nausea, & have already drunk 108 oz. of water/protein shakes.< /p>

I thought it would be nice to hear a non-scary story. You might come out of surgery a lot better than you thought, like I did.

Hope all goes well for you.

oops-didn't realize you were quoting me-sorry for the double pot!
