The day I scheduled my surgery- 6weeks before surgery. My dr informed me of the 2weeks leading up to the surgery I would be on a liquid Diet. It is to shrink your liver. During The surgery the Dr has to lift it and move it out of the way. He told me a Fatty Liver is easily injured and that would throw a stick into the surgery. You can shrink it fast with diet. I have done some research and everyone's prediet is different. Some had way longer and others just had a couple hours of days. Some people had liquids only. And others were able to add in one low-fat, no-carb meal a day like broiled chicken and steamed veggies. Ask your Doc at your next visit.
i am having a Revision from a lap-band to a sleeve. When I had the lap band all I had to do before was no food/drink after midnight the day before.
Hope that was helpful.
