Preop Diet, Surgery On 9/24

what happens if you dont follow preop liquid diet?

[xavtay2 85]

If you don't follow the pre-op diet you could really end up hurting yourself! Why: because the purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink the liver so that it is easier for the surgeon to get to your stomach. I have learned that every doctor is different with pre and post- of course do the best you can to stuck to it..... I am now 13 days post op. it is not easy but I am dohbg this for me my kids. Whenever I want to not comply I think of all the reasons I had the surgery and I don't do it! Wishing you the best on your journey

You could be turned down for surgery once they are in there. Although I haven't ever heard of that happening, but still.

Depends on your bmi .. I only was on liquids for 24 hours.

I've read it here, and my doctor confirmed; if he gets inside and your liver is too big he will close you up and not complete the surgery. He said its not worth the risk of hemorrhage.

I don't think that is correct. There are lower bmi's that have had longer preops and some with higer bmi's with shorter preop. I think it is ur surgeons preference.
