So I met with my dr again today. He is fabulous. Anyways we went over in details my results.
I have a bunch of prescriptions to fill:
Vit B12 shots (one a week for 3 months)
Prevacid once a day (can take prilosec OTC instead)
Vit D 2000mg (OTC) once a day
Vit D 50,000 3 times a week
Chromagen Forte 2 times a day
And I need to have 5 Venofer Infusions
Also gave me the scripts for the narcotic & suppository for nausea.
I had a hard time giving myself the shot, but I finally did it. I'm wondering how much of this all my insurance will pick up... But regardless I need it and so cost doesn't matter. I was kind of overwhelmed with all the information, and it really feels real now if that makes sense.
Oh and he will remove my gallbladder while he's in there and possibly repair the hernia. He stressed that while we are opting for doing this laprascopically, if the liver has not shrank then it would result in an open procedure. Ugh. So I'm going to start my liquid diet tomorrow and get a head start on it and then one day next week will be a normal diet (while I do the 24 hour UA) and then back to my liquid diet with protein shakes till the day before surgery..... less than 19 days now :) WOO HOO.
