Hi Ladies, First congrats on your surgery date, Keesh32..I just had my first appointment and I really feel, I am in the right place, with LBS. My question, why do you have to do a pre op diet?

From my understanding with my patient advocate its for shrinking the liver because they work either around are with the liver in placing the band..

Thanks FatSmashBeauty!!! Yeah they told me it was to shrink the liver so the surgeon can place the band around the stomach with no problems. They said if he go in & can't get to the stomach he want place the band but u still pay like you got the band. So I said I got to do right....:-)

You're absolutely right! We had a forum member a few months ago was cut open and then denied a LB.

The liver is like handling Jello when its all fatty.
