Did Dr. Almanza Even mention anything to anyone about the size of their liver ?
No, in fact I never saw him again post op.
No, Like Michael said you will never see him again after surgery. Wait that's not true I do remember seeing him at the Hospital when my group was checking out but he didn't say anything to me he just walked by and waved at everyone. As far as the liver goes it is VITAL you follow the pre-op to a "T". If you are 300lbs. I would imagine you have pre-op instructions for a minimum of a week if not longer. The reason for this is to shrink your liver because it is located right next to the stomach and if your liver is full size there is a very real possibility it could get cut by mistake during surgery. God forbid that happens you have a real problem on your hands and it's very dangerous. So in short pre-op like crazy to shrink your liver as much as you can. If you follow the instructions you will be just fine, best of luck to you!!!!!!!
