Yesterday I had my last appointment and reviewed all my test results with an internalist and performed a pulmonary function test. The PA thought all my test results looked fine. "Nothing to be excited about" were his exact words. I took a little machine home with me last night that monitored my oxygen levels while I slept and I turned that in to the Dr. office this morning. So for now I am DONE with tests!!!! The next step is to go see Dr. Todd on Monday and get the final seal of approval from him and then the insurance and then it is off to surgery!!!
They want you to go on a high protein/low carb diet to help shrink your liver for about 2 weeks before the surgery (the smaller the liver is the easier it is to perform the surgery.) So I guess I might need to start doing that soon. I really want to do the surgery ASAP but I don't think I can fit it into our schedule until the first week of June. That would be perfect!
