HELLO I am new to this forum, but looking forward to getting to know many of you and see how things work here. I am from South Carolina , will be having my surgery in Columbia SC. I don't have a date yet my insurance person said I'm approved,but I have to do my pysc. stuff again because it ran out, becaues it was so long between it and getting approved.I'll get it done on Wednesday,and get a date so after. My Doctor is Dr. HUGES I LIKE HIM HE HAS A GREAT RECORD WITH THE SURGERY. What do you guys think I should be doing? I am drinking 80-96 ozs. water, cut out soda all together no real suger, cut carbs. whats can I do?
