Dr Borland - Louisiana

[amanda07 7]

I am scheduled for surgery on June 6 with Dr Borland. Super excited and a little nervous. Spent the last month lurking on this website just reading and absorbing all the wonderful information everyone has supplied. Just wanted to say thanks!

I am scheduled with him June 27th. Please keep us updated on how it goes! I am so curious about the experience with him.

Does Dr. Borland make you wear a catheter?

How long were y'all at the surgery center? How did you feel after? How long at the hotel? Anyone that wants to share... I am just trying to be ready. Will have surgery at the end of June if all clear by my Dr.

I had a tough time before surgery because I was really dehydrated so my recovery was 8hrs long from them given me fluids. So make sure you drink lots the day before!!! Hotel was 3 days well 4 total counting the day before because we live 2hrs away. I stayed at the Candlewood. They give a surgery discount and have a recliner in each room which is where I slept. Think goodness for that because I try to lay in the bed but the gas pains were too intense and I couldn't. I felt so good after surgery that the next day I was out shoe shopping lol.

I just changed my hotel to Candlewood. Thank you, I didn't even think about the sleeping on a bed issue. Now I will have a recliner!

I defiantly will. Super excited but also getting a bit nervous. He doesn't require any kind of strict pre op diet but after reading so many people talking about their pre op diets I think I am going to go on a liquid diet starting tues (a week before my surgery)

I decided the same thing last night! So many other Dr. want you to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. I feel like we are in good hands, but it won't hurt to make it as easy as possible.
