I'm so sorry you had surgery and then did not get the band put into place! How frustrating to have to go through a second surgery! Unfortunately, with lap band, you apparently don;t have the option of the surgeon just switching from lap to open surgery (as they will sometimes do for a RNY, etc.) if the liver is a problem. Keep your chin up. The four weeks will probably pass quickly (and, on 1000 calories a day, you should lose some weight). Lora

Linda, I am so sorry you had to go thru all that surgery, only to not have your procedure completed. I really hope that over the next 4 weeks everything goes well for you. Keep up the good work, you will get there!!! Caroline

One thing I never realized was how large the liver is...it takes up a large area of our abdomen, and blocks the view the surgeon has of the area he needs to place the band...by following a special preop diet...the liver will usually flatten out and make access easier....Did your surgeon give you any specifics as to why your liver stayed enlarged?

If you didn't shrink it enough the first round on a 1000 calorie diet, I would try going total liquids the second time around just to be sure.

Hi Linda! I'm going to go out on a limb here...do you have Medical Mutual insurance and went through Bariatrix Clinics in Groveport? If so, girl, do we need to talk!
