That's so awesome!! My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet of liquids or anything, so I'm just trying to work on not drinking with my meals (so hard!) and Chewing! Chewing! Chewing!! I'm actually going on a cruise 2 weeks before my surgery, so I'm kind of glad there is no pre-op diet...Ha! We can definitely support each other...I need all I can get!!

| august 1st
mine is august the 1st, reading these, i have been reminded how soon it is. i have been working extremely hard at work the last couple of weeks and therefore have been concentrating on that. but its less then a month!!!!! have my pre-op checks on the 19th july. however, im really worried about this random line bump thing at the side of my kneck, i thought i could only feel it, but its raised about 5mm and is under my ear. do you think this is going to affect my pre-op and therefore have the date pushed back? i really do not want that to happen
Sarah

I was told that I had to go on mylecol (spelling?) for 2-3 weeks prior to deter your liver from tearing during surgery. Has anyone heard about that?:confused2: | |

I'm not exacly sure what your talking about but, I know my doctor wants me to lose 10 lbs before surgery to help shrink the lever to make the surgery safer (maybe so it won't tear???)....I'm sure it's the same thing.

My doctor says nothing about liver shrinking...that's weird. Oh well, I'm sure he knows what he's doing (I hope, HA!)!
