bossportsgal 136 Posted December 29, 2016 So my surgeon said I have only 2 days of full liquids before day of surgery. It seems like folks have more like two weeks. Anyone else heard of that? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kell911 62 Posted December 29, 2016 I have noticed those that have short pre-op liquid are have a lower bmi. That would be my guess. Every surgeon is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
