Did anyone have to have their surgery rescheduled due to their liver being too fatty? Or did you have to have the open surgery? I'm so paranoid about this. I am doing the pre-op diet my surgeon prescribes but I keep thinking "What if it's not enough? I should have started earlier" (although I started 2 weeks prior as they told me to). I guess I'm just panicking a bit. Everyone talks like it's such a big deal but has it really ever happened to anyone? Thanks.

I have yet to meet or talk to someone on line that it's actually happened to... but I've heard many people who say their doctors have had patients it happened to.. I think it's "real", but don't stress about it too bad, as long as you're following your doctor's orders you should be okay.. goodluck with everything!

I have never heard of this before...some surgeons don't even require a pre-op liquid diet....don't worry..you will be fine..just stick to your pre-op diet and your liver will shrink and the surgery will go great...good luck...let us know how you are doing...

I just got my gastric banding a week ago and my liver was too fatty to do it laparoscopicallly. They had to do it open and i endedup in the hospital for five days. I am still in pain and on pain meds, but overall i am still excited for everything! GOod luck to you!!!!
