BP'sMamaG 12 Posted September 29, 2014 I am in Greenville,sc surgery is Oct 16athomas I'm in AndersonSC and am scheduled for Oct 13. Started preop diet today. Good luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peekboo 472 Posted September 29, 2014 I'm in Hampton Virginia. My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet. I only have to be on Clear Liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery. I think it depends on what your BMI is and how your liver function test comes back. I guess I am lucky. Good luck to you also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pink1028 6 Posted September 30, 2014 My surgery date is Oct 28th but today was crazy day in this crazy journey. Last week my surgeons office tells me that they have not received a support letter from my primary care doctor, so i call to get this taken care off, they tell me they will get back to me. So, today they call me to tell me that my doctor supports the surgery but doesn't thinks it is necessary to write the letter. I call the doctors office back to tell them it is necessary and they tell me that the doctor is out of the country until October 13( too late to get insurance approval by the 28th). They said that they could try to get the doctor to send a letter before they have no contact with her until the 13th. Thank god she sent the letter so they can send to the insurance for approval. I have my pre surgery check up with my primary care, my pre op appointments set, and last nutritionist appointment set to start my liver reduction diet. Then on the 28th I get my birthday present, my surgery. Nervous but excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
