I would tell the surgeon what happened as soon as possible.

You are better off telling ur surgeon then waking up from surgery to find out he couldn't operate and closed u back up or for something to go wrong on the operating table. Just remember mind over matter. Gl

^This for sure. Happened to one of the patients in the wing where I was recovering in. Doctor started in and found the liver to large and shut down the surgery.

I would say something to your surgeon ASAP. Aside from the fact the the pre-up diet is a foreshadowing of sorts to show your what life will be like post-op, it's also created for a reason. To reduce your fatty liver, to assist with the transition post-op, to make sure your stomach is 110% empty and ready to go. These are essentially doctors orders!! Call tomorrow morning - that way, if you have to reschedule, you'll get the earliest possible date.

Also, your surgeon will still charge you/your insurance company even if they open you up to discover they can't continue with surgery just the same if they completed the procedure. And you don't want to pay for something that didn't happen!

Good luck!
