• Tomorrow is my big day 10/14/16 a fresh new start in life, not nervous just ready to begin this new journey. 5 day liquids was a breeze since I prepared myself, no food in the house, cabinets were cleaned out, only have broth, sugar free Jello, ice pops, crystal lite, and Premier Protein Shakes!!!. Looking forward to running and chasing my grandkids, going to the amusement parks, and doing all of the things that I cant do in this state. I pray all goes well for all of us scheduled this month, and look forward to sharing experiences. #imwiththewinninglosers

Received my insurance approval letter today. Just waiting to hear from Dr. A's surgery scheduler. To return my call. I am a bundle of emotions! Excited, nervous, second guessing my decision. Oh my!

Congratulations @@Ellapearl!!! That is awesome news!!! When you say Dr A's office do you mean Dr. Aksilhirli?!

Dr. Allison

Oh ok. I thought for a second we might of had the same Doctor! That is so exciting that you were approved! I feel exactly the same way as you! My surgery is scheduled for 10/26 and I feel like I'm on a roller coaster!!! One minute I'm so excited and confident, then the next I'm second guessing myself. Plus I'm really nervous for the surgery

Surgery date 10/17. Started my 5 day liquid diet today. But I just cheated with some garlic bread and cheese. I feel awful. Any advice? Would that affect my surgery?

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so that surgery is safer. You need to go into ketosis for this to happen and that means no carbs. It's very important that you stick with the diet from here on. Some have had surgery cancelled due to their liver not shrinking enough. It's not worth chancing.

Hi KristenLe. Yes. I totally understand. Second day of pre-op. Did much better. Having all the clear liquid I can and keeping myself busy unpacking and organizing the new place. Seems to help distracting me from wanting to eat. Its not easy but I keep reassuring myself is going to be all worth. Looking forward to a healthy life.

I am at Kaiser in Portland and they made it super clear that my surgeon would cancel if I didn't meet goal weight too before pre-op apt. I'm so sorry!! Are they going to bump you to November's schedule now?

October 7 was my day 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Down 15 lbs. Had lapband revision. Sooo glad I had it done. Lapband had eroded into stomach and was pull port in with it.

Good good luck Sylvia, you're setting a good example for your family and more so your family. Your grand babies have a very wonderful grandma and I'm.proud of you and your decision. Rosey Posey

Hi Rosey! My surgery was scheduled for 1:30 PM yesterday but I didn't actually going to Sergie after 630 which meant I was starving and a bad mood LOL woke up feeling good no pain no discomfort and all the stuff was super nice. I live in Monterey County Salinas to be exact so I had a 2 1/2 to 3 Hour Dr. I didn't really have pain until we got home from Fresno thank God for meds! Thank you for your concern :-)
