Any February 2014 Sleevers?

[CrazyJaney 775]

My doc only has me on a liquid diet the day before surgery. I wonder why some docs make people do pre op liquids for weeks and some only one or two days?

Mine too. I trust him though. I had a lap chole without any issues. I've been consistently loosing preop. In some ways I wish he did so I could better prepare mentally. I'm going to do 50/50 for a few days before anyway.

I'm on 4 week liquid, depends on a lot of factors. BMI? Mine was 52. Below 45 he (Doctor) only requires 2 weeks. I know of no one who uses my doctor who is on less than two weeks regardless of BMI. He is cautious and has an excellent record. He has done over 800 sleeves. So, #2 would depend on your Surgeon. Have you checked him out good? Third is age - I'm 72. This makes me nervous. At an older age, the surgery is not as much of a concern as possible complications. However, I am good to go and ready to take the consequences which hopefully will be a new me.

If you understand the purpose of the liquid diet, I personally would be concerned with only a one or two day liquid diet! However, if your Doctor has run you through a series of tests and is confident your Liver, Spleen, Gallbladder, etc are all healthy and you are young, in good shape with a low BMI, I wouldn't worry. There a lot of e-books available giving you a lot of good info in case you want to look into the specifics of Bariatic surgery including the need for and, guidelines for a liquid pre-op and post-op diet.

Good luck to you.
