Everyone keeps talking about the preoperation liquid diet but my surgeon is having me eat normal meals even the night before⦠Is this right? Also, since I'm asking questions...I am having surgery on June 25th and I just started my menstrual cycle. Will they have to reschedule?

Each surgeon is different. My pre-op is a high proteing low carb 10 day diet. I had to switch programs and my old program would have been a 4 week liquid diet wiht my BMI. Follow what your surgeon wants you to do. A pre-op diet shrinks your liver. Your surgeon will know best for you.

As far as your menstrual cycle you won't have to reschedule. Just let the nurses now and they'll take care of you. You can not wear a tampon.. My hospital gave me some special undergarments. The pre-op diet is mainly for shrinking the liver, so maybe your doctor does not feel that will be a problem.. As winkie80 stated all doctors are different in there requirements Good luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
