Surgery went well today. The only discomfort I have is the area where my MD took a liver biopsy.

I originally had surgery scheduled for 12/19 with Dr #1- insured denied me. Then a Dr. #2 approved me but I had out of pocket expenses of $5k. I'm still doing it!! He scheduled me for 12/15 this Friday! Super excited, then i get a call to do it this Wednesday ---- holy smoke, I'm not ready for that so I'm sticking to friday!!! I seriously am freaking out that this is real!! After I got denied, I'd lost all hope. Wishing everyone a speedy pre op diet- what a trip this has been
Good luck everyone, I can't wait to see progress pics.

Scary that mine is outpatient.

Yours is outpatient? Yikes. I've never heard of that. Is the "MN" in your screen name Minnesota? That's where I'm from. Can I ask what hospital system? I went through Allina Health.

Mine was outpatient as well. I didn’t mind it at all. I liked going home and sleeping in my own bed.

Did anyone's surgeon take a liver biopsy? That seems to be the only thing sore in/on me from yesterday's surgery. No gas pain at this point (knock on wood).

No, I didn't have a biopsy. What was yours checking for?

[BlueCrush 408]

My labwotk came back PreOp showing fatty liver disease, so he wanted to check it out. He said the biopsy looked fine, and it should go away with weight loss.

Surgery is today! So freaked out right now I’m sitting in the staging area waiting to be called. This anti nausea patch has me light headed and a sever case of dry mouth.

Good luck and have a safe recovery!!!

Surgery tomorrow and the nerves are kicking in! I’m not so much nervous for the surgery as I am for life after. food has been my comfort for my entire life, so it’s kind of scary to think that I won’t have that relationship anymore. Overall, though, I’m excited to build a new, healthy life!

I am a week into my pre op diet...getting sleeved on the 20th. But man alive do i want something salty...these creamy sweet Protein Drinks are making me queasy. I have a bunch of home made broth that ive been drinking and that is the high point of my day, but the rest of the day is rough. Does anyone have any tips for finishing these last 8 days?
