Revision surgery on Friday

[Jenyp8409 200]

So I’m having surgery on Friday a revision of a sleeve to RNY bypass. They put me on the pre-op diet yesterday but I have been experiencing extreme nausea and dizziness has anyone ever experience this? Should I call my doctor? I don’t want him to postpone the surgery

It's always a good idea to get this stuff out of the way in advance instead of the morning of surgery.

It's probably your body going from withdrawal from sugar caffeine or whatever junk your body was used to before the diet. Preop diets are usually generic and boring so I don't imagine it being a causative factor otherwise

Thanks I will keep that in mind

Don't hesitate to contact your surgical team. Good luck!

Yeah, it's WAY better to get ahead of things and talk to your surgical team, rather than them finding out the day of.

So I called the office and the told me to check my sugar level. Which I thought was weird cause I’m not diabetic but my sugar level were 67 they told me to eat something small and recheck the levels again. It was 120 after eating a chicken salad. They told me to eat two meals instead of the one of 300 cal or less. And not to eat anything after 8 tonight
