Does anyone know of anyone that was turned away for not enough fat gone from the liver?

Yep I know of two. Both were opened up and closed back up and had to stay on Optifast even longer to get more fat off the liver. It was too dangerous for the surgeons to try and continue.
You will do fine Shelley you have two more weeks of Opti and your doing great!

Don't worry, that's why the optifast is done based on your weight, the higher your weight the ore weeks you have to do, which will ensure you liver is small enough to safely work in the area.
