Robin::::: I am pre-op and have no advise for you whatsover. However, please know that I am supporting you in prayer - certain that you will get the answer you are looking for. More importantly, I am certain that your surgical team, nutritionists, PCP and others are individuals committed to your success. As you share information with them, I trust they will respond with compassion and professionalism. You have identified the problem ... you are more than half way to a solution!
Many blessings, RayRay
