Surgery moved up....WOOHOO !

[native_brunette]

I was tentatively scheduled to have surgery the 3rd week in December. Due to the fact I teach school and we get 2 weeks off for the holiday. My bariatric co-ordinator emailed me yesterday to say that my surgery will be the first week in December (depending on surgeon's schedule). She just wanted to advise me of the 2 wk liquid pre-op diet that I'll have to do. This is really awesome news ! I am going to my first support meeting tonite and I am looking forward to meeting other ppl that have traveled this journey or getting prepared to.

Consider it a test of your commitment. Be thankful its not your first born.

There is fat around your liver and they want as much gone before surgery as possible. This helps make the surgery safer and lessons the risk of complications.
