Pre-Op with Dr. Alfonso Torquati

Oct 14, 2010

I was really nervous to "meet" Dr. Torquati today for pre-op.  I don't know why...just makes it OFFICIAL, I guess.  He was super, duper nice.  He explained everything to me and put a lot of fears at ease.  I only had 2 questions for him though.  #1 What can I do next week (last week before surgery) to make his job easier?  He doesn't have a mandatory liquid diet pre-op.  But, he said if I wanted to I could drink 5 Carnation Breakfast shakes with Skim milk a day as meals and snack replacements.  And drink LOTS of water.  #2 How much weight does he expect me to lose?  He said he will try to get me into ONDERLAND since I am 5'11 and larger framed (grrrr).  I could be very happy with those results.  Soooo....11 more days!
