I was banded may 16th and I was put on a 10 day pre-op diet . I went to see my doctor the day after I started the diet and I complained to him about how strict it was,and his response was do what u can. I didn't know what that meant, so lets just say out of the 10 days I completed the last 2 days. Some people on here said that they were given grief by their doctors for having a regular size liver instead of a shrunken one. After the surgery he didnt say anything to me about having complications or anything. I went for my follow up yesterday and everything seems to be going great.:clap2:
