NikNakMcCants 62 Posted May 13, 2013 I am scheduled to have a band to sleeve revision on Monday June 10th. Last week, I met with my surgeon. While going over the surgery he told me that I did not need to do a pre-op diet. He went on to say, "Now don't go out and eat three Big Mac's the night before or hold a food funeral but, you also don't need to go on a liquid diet either." So, I was wondering what other revision patients were told by their doctors. Did you have a pre-op diet? If so, what did it consist of? It just seems like I should be doing one. 1 rxtine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherrypep 91 Posted May 13, 2013 I am post op May 6th and did not have a liquid diet. Since I had the band I did not eat much before anyway but I did indulge in a few favorites the week or two before I must admit. You should eat light the day before so you don't have a whole lot in your belly but you will be fine. I didnt have one for my band either. Best of luck you will do great!

imbabiluv 20 Posted May 13, 2013 I did a modified phase 2 south beach diet because I am diabetic. If I wasn't I would have to do phase 1. I was a revision 4/30/13. I did liquids 1 week and now on puréed foods. Everyone's nut is different. I would say watch what you eat so it doesn't bite you in the butt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laquanasj 0 Posted May 18, 2013 I'm currently scheduled for revision surgery on June 4th in which i'm going from a lap band to sleeve.

Novagramma 5 Posted May 19, 2013 I had my band out in September, my surgeon will not do a removal and sleeve in one, and will be sleeved on Tuesday (5/21). He is having me do a pre-op for 11 days, to shrink the liver a little more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LookingtotheFuture 0 Posted May 22, 2013 I had my conversion done April 26th. Pre-op I only had to do a liquid diet the day before, only to make sure my stomach was empty for surgery. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet for my band either except for the Clear Liquids the day before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
