My Doctor just requires a 3 day clear liquid diet with a light meal on day 1 and 2. Only clear liquids on day 3. He use to do a longer diet but said it wasn't really necessary.
My doctor only requires a 3 day pre-op diet of 2 protein shakes and one small 300 cal. meal a day. It seems everyone else on a 2 or 1 week pre-op diet. My surgery date is Aug. 17. I am thinking I should go ahead and start my diet now. Or at least cut way back in what i am eating. I see him for a pre-surgery consultation on Aug 6, so I guess i will ask him then? What is everyone else's pre-op diet like?
I have not had my surgery yet. But Dr. Fusco has alot of experience. The insurence pays 16,000, I pay 3700.00 If I did not have insurence my cost would be just the 16,000
