Ok... so tomorrow is my surgery... 10am and i'm SOOOO excited, but at the same time having some fears... so i hadn't even heard of this until i got on this site, but i've seen several people that have had there surgery postponed due to a "fatty liver" and i'm totally scared that i'm going to go in tomorrow and thats going to be me. I've lost 11lbs on my preop and not gonna lie i cheated the 2nd day but have been super strict on it since. Does any one know how many people this actually happenes to, and are they people that just do not follow there diet hardly at all or could it happen to anyone? I continue to look on the bright side and hope and pray that this doesn't happen to me but i can't help but have it in the back of my mind.

Wish me luck!! I'll update tomorrow to let you know what happenes!

It happened to me. I did not follow my surgeon's preop diet perfectly but I did lose 15 pounds. My liver was too thick to be moved out of the way and he couldn't tell until I was knocked out, in the OR etc. Chest x-ray and abdominal ultrasound didn't show it! So since 8/11 I've done the diet HIS way, lost another 17, and am going back on Friday.

I am right behind you. Probably will get a surgery date sometime in October. I will be starting my all day testing next Thursday. Then they will set me up for the heart and pulmonary test.

Good Luck tomorrow! Hopefully you won't have to wait and your dieting has paid off. I pray everything goes well for you. Please let me know how it goes and if you are having any pain anywhere. How much do you need to lose? Do you have any medical conditions?

I'm getting banded tomorrow too! Appointment time is 7:20, so I have to be there at 5:20am!!!!

I'm alos paranoid about the fatty liver. I cheated once, 2 days ago and ate 3 cheeze-it crackers. I am totally freaking out that I have ruined all my work. It was stupid, I know. I've lost 17 pounds, but I'm still worried that I haven't done enough and they won't be able to do the surgery.

Good luck to you and everyone else with upcoming dates!

Seriously I don't think 3 cheezits will ruin your chances

I know, I know. I'm just a parniod person by nature and have been beating myself up for slipping. I'm trying to remain confident.
