My surgery is tomorrow Of course I've been following the pre op diet. But I'm worried, perhaps needlessly. I understand that the fat from the liver needs to be reduced or eliminated so that the procedure can be done. My dietitian mentioned in one of the classes that my surgeon has been known to abort the operation when livers were too fatty. I'd be very disappointed if this happens to me.

Roy, don't borrow trouble. You're awfulizing. Your pre-op Jitters are normal. Everything is going to be fine. Even if the doctor had to stop the surgery for some reason, and that is super rare, you would be rescheduled after taking care of whatever problem the doctor found. You have been working toward this for a long time and you're very brave to make this decision. Now just go forth and do it. All is well.

You're not going to be in the record books for having the fattiest liver ever.

Diane, I was reading posts tonight and when I read your advice to Roy, I saw the word alfulizing. It's the first time I've ever seen that word in print and just love it. I guess that's me, I'm an alfulizer, I always am worried about things going wrong, etc. Thank you for putting this on my face tonight
