Hey I had surgery 6/21, at my pre op 6/4 where I weighed in at 248 my surgeon also said no pre surgery diet was needed. My surgery was covered by my insurance. Not sure why i just had to stop eating and drinking by midnight before surgery and drink Gatorade night before and morning of.
I knew someone who had the same surgeon a few years ago who had to do a protein Shake diet before surgery, she started at a higher weight...maybe that’s why?
