Surgery Tommorow No Pre-Op Diet

[justme360 2]

Im having surgery tomorrow and they called me today to let me know

I thought someone was pranking me but its real..

Is it safe to have surgery with no preop diet at all?

I actually gained a couple pounds in last month.

My surgery was canceled cause they thought I have Barrett esophagus but when they double checked it was just inflammation so even though I spoke with them yesterday and they said I had no date yet they called back today and said to come tommorow for surgery.

Anyone had an experience like this?

Is this safe? My surgeon thinks its ok

my pre op diet was 1000 cal for 2 weeks i though it was odd cause everyone seems to have a liquid diet but iam fine

I have just a 24 hour clear liquid diet the day before. Check with your doctor.

My surgeon said pre-opt diet was optional with a bmi of 35. I'm having surgery Saturday. Good luck and best wishes to you! Exciting!

the short and sweet answer is no pre-op is not necessary.

IMO since you didn't have any time to worry about the WLS (except for a few hours now) - you're better off

but- my dr didn't require pre-op either, i wish he had.

i went on a few food funerals pre WLS that i should not have

you will be in sleeveland very soon

Thank you guys so much,

reading these post has officially put me at ease. What kind of doc just lets asu call you at 5pm and tell you to come into surgery the next day and then u cant call the office cause noone is there anymore.. Talk about suprises, luckily this is a good one

I had surgery 7-11 and everything went great just 4 days out and I feel good only pain left is from big incision where they took out stomach so I am very greatful to God and my surgeon. I guess you really dont need a preop diet. I actually partied pretty hard 2 days before surgery not knowing my surgery will be so soon. I had 5 times the pain with gall bladder removal and I was on liquids 1 week before that because everything swallowed caused pain and recovery actually took like 3-4 Weeks house rest and had crazy gas pains that didnt go away for over a month and I was 130lbs lighter!!

God has his ways of suprising us I guess

So excited for you. My only prep for surgery is nothing to eat PR drink 12 hours before. I have list 69 pounds on my own, plus 16 before starting the program. Oh how I wish that phone would ring early for me!

Can't wait to hear about your adventures. Best of luck.
