2 week liquid diet, then 24 hours prior to surgery only clear liquid. That was it. No surprises in your stomach when they cut

Wow, that reads like instructions for a colonoscopy.

Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

No, thank goodness, my surgeon doesn't touch the intestines during gastric sleeve surgery so there was no need for a bowel prep.

Wow, I had 10 days pre-op clear liquid, it did the trick liver shrunk as planned. No bowel prep ad was advanced to full liquids 6 days post-op. Tolerated well..
