Surgery Cancellation?

[bettyanne6249 50]

Did anyone have their surgery cancelled after they told their doctor that they cheated and had food two days before a surgery?

[mrscastillo 32]

No, but depends on the food.....what'd you eat?

[bettyanne6249 50]

A roast beef sandwich. I am telling mine tomorrow. I still need to drink another shake to even make my calories for the day.

as long as you do Clear Liquids 24 hours before surgery. I was able to eat some stuff up to 2 days before sugery. They are trying to have you shrink your liver to make surgery easier.

It shouldn't be a problem..... Just make sure you don't cheat when you're on liquids....it would suck to go under the knife and have your surgeon say your lungs are too big to operate..... And then have to start all over..... But, still, you're doctor does need to know

I had mashed potatoes the night before surgery and didn't tell my surgeon anything about it. When I went back a week later he said my sleeve was the best he had ever done ... Lol

I am on liquids and 1 bar lol. I have been since August 1.

[bettyanne6249 50]

I think I would be fine if I didnt tell, but I need to be honest.

My doctor never put me on a pre-op diet - just 24 hours of liquids before surgery. When I asked him about it, he said it wasn't necessary and there was no evidence that a short time on a special diet would shrink the liver enough to make a difference.

[bettyanne6249 50]

That makes me feel better... Thank you!! I'm praying for the best. Very disappointed in myself.

I was not required to do any pre liquid. Just follow the last stage of the post op diet. I wouldn't go crazy but u will be fine!!! Good luck!
