Pre-op appointment and large liver

Jul 01, 2014

Today I completed my pre-op appointment. It was very informative. I met with the nurse coordinator who walked me thru the whole surgery process and then met with the doctor. He started on begging me to stick to my pre-op diet because my gall bladder US showed marked enlargement of my liver and if it is too big he can't do the surgery. I have been very good all along and have lost at least 20 lbs. since that US so I am hoping I don't go into the OR and come right back out. Also met with the dietician. Then off to admitting for blood work, EKG and chest X-ray. My kidney values were a little high on my last blood work so I am also concerned about that. Everything else has gone so smoothly I am keeping the faith that this will not be a problem but the surgeon did scare me a little. Comments welcome with any positive thoughts or people who have experienced the same that want to tell me everything was great.
