Ditto on Amie's Responce to your post,,I think it would be difficult for the surgeon to do a Rny Laproscopic if you liver is enlarged,,i know a woman that didnt diet pre op went in planning to have lap Rny and ended up having open Rny because her liver was to enlarged For the instruments to get under the liver and such.so she has scars from both. I am on day 2 of pre op diet,,it is hard but i sleep alot to pass the time so i dont get too stressed..Seriously i sleep between 12 to 16 hours a day then when i am up i keep busy washing floors and since its spring now,,been doing the spring cleaning thing,,( been cleaning out closets and reorganising and even moving around furniture) so i get in some exercise;and drink alot of fluids to keep that full feeling..God Bless you ,,and may he give you strength to continue your journey and be well,,hugs ....Wendy

I am in the "hoping to be banded" process with Dr. Khalili at Cedars Sinai. Has anyone here been banded by him? Provided surgery response time is good, (1-2 weeks). What was the timeline like according to his availablity? I guess I'm a little anxious to get this done, even though I am making sure I'm keeping my feet grounded. Also, just a little curious.

Hi Deb... Glad to meet you. I am a March 20th surgery girl too. I am so excited. Good luck! Jenifer

HI! I know exactly how you are feeling. I am having surgery the 20th and the excitement is definitely building. I have tried to stay focused on getting things a little more organized around the house like cabinets and drawers, getting my supplements lined up and ready for after surgery, packing my bag for the hospital and making sure that I have everything I want to take and reading up on all of the boards on here. Have fun & enjoy the excitement of the life change we are about to embark upon. Jenifer

Thanks for posting that website. That is great. But now you have me thinking about crabs!!! I have family in Baltimore. We get a bushel whenever we get together! I am just over a week out and will be switching to clear liquids on Saturday. right now I am having 2 protein drinks a day and dinner of lean protein and non starch veggies and clear liquids.
