Sounds like the Houston sleeve docs are far less strict about pre-op diets than docs elsewhere. I am in Houston too, on Sept. 4th. I have a three day pre-op liver shrinking diet with Protein Shakes, small Protein Snacks, and one meal of lowfat meat and salad with non-fat vinaigrette. Doc is Dexter Turnquest, hospital is Willowbrook Methodist. Who's your surgeon, and what hospital? Diana49

QUESTION for those having surgery in Mexico: What will you do about aftercare?

[alchaley 29]

I'm using Dr Balette at Houston Northwest. I've heard Turnquest is great too!! Good luck.

I'm in west central PA. Where is Saye? Eastern PA?

I'm sorry that was a typo. It was supposed to say Sayre, PA. It's right on the boarder of NY.

Great we should keep in touch

I'm September 10th! I'm self-pay in Michigan. I have to loose 5lbs before surgery. Not sure how I'm gonna go about that just yet. I'm thinking, lots of Water, (which I already drink a min of 128 oz of water a day so not sure how I can get in more) and 4 shakes a day

Im Sept. 12 in Virginia. Super duper excited. Will start a 2 week liquid diet August 29. The process went quick and without hiccup. Hoping to continue in that manner.

I start my pre op liquid diet on Monday and then my surgery is sept 3rd. The process went super fast for me, but I'm self-pay.
