I had one when I had my initial blood work and I have to have another one the morning of surgery. I switched to zero nicotine vapes passed the first test. Working on breaking the habit all together Sent from my SM-G988U using BariatricPal mobile app

Liquid diet for 2 weeks? My surgeon said liquid diet 3 days prior to surgery. I am in insurance limbo right now, hoping to have surgery before the end of the month Sent from my SM-G988U using BariatricPal mobile app

So I am at the very beginning of this journey, my PCP is on board, I have reached out to a surgeon and completed all of their pre, pre, pre appointment requirements in one day. Waited for a month for them to verify my insurance benefits which was completed yesterday. Now I am waiting for them to schedule my initial appointment. Any suggestions on what I should be doing while I am waiting? I did call the office to see if there was any testing that I could ask my PCP for when I went in for my annual check up and was told no. Do I go ahead and start a liquid diet? I have no idea when my appointment will be. I have started getting out and walking every day, weather permitting (I am in Kansas). I just feel I could be doing something to start preparing for this surgery. Any and all suggestions are appreciated

With that being said, if every Dr has their own protocol, is their a generic post op diet/vitamin regimen, I can look up? I have read about surgeons wanting you to lose the fat around your liver? I guess it depends on BMI, anyone know any good websites to check out for that? Sent from my SM-G988U using BariatricPal mobile app

I YouTube everything, I fixed my washer, my water heater and my car with YouTube! You are welcome

Ok,correction to my previous comment. I watched a YouTube video, it is totally doable on your own. Sent from my SM-G988U using BariatricPal mobile app

Umm, that is not in my wheelhouse, I would not be comfortable do this. That would be a big no for me. Sent from my SM-G988U using BariatricPal mobile app
