One week til surgery, havent been put on pre-op diet? (BMI 31)



Recommended Posts

Im due for sleeve on the 6th but havent been asked to undergo a pre-op diet so far. I have emailed but thought I would bring it up on here.
My BMI is low (31) and im wondering if this has something to do with it.
Ive started my own pre-op liquid diet just to be safe, but has anyone else had a similar experience?

There was a woman in my preop class who didn't have to do liquid. She was much smaller than the other two of us, and had a different surgeon. Not sure what the reason was, but she came through her surgery just fine.

Yes my BMI was much higher than yours and my surgeon didn't require it either. He just said to work on eating much smaller meals and not to worry about wanting a big meal as I wouldn't want it anymore...also said to start getting used to eating very slow but no pre op diet other than the NUT's advice I was following on my diet plan for 6 months...oh and to have your "last meal" or whatever you really wanted to have a few days to a week out, not the night before...

good luck to you :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
