Heartlands called me today with my pre-op date with surgeon and dietitian (24th Sept) and my op date (26th Oct). I have to do 4 weeks milk (or equivalent) diet, lose 5-10% of weight, shrink liver etc. All this stuff I know, mainly thanks to this and other help sites and some great documentaries. What else will happen at the pre-op meeting?
As an aside, I was a bit miffed because I've been waiting for a letter for so long, well 4 weeks isn't that long... but there's a letter for me at home now and the call kinda spoiled the surprise
Anyway it's got to the booking my time off work stage. How long should I take? I know it's tricky as everyone's different in their post op recovery but I don't want to book too short a time and not be ready for work. Is one week's post op recovery enough? Should I be very safe and go two weeks?
Anyway, time is now going to fly until the op date and I'm really happy that it's all moving forward.
