Hi from Scotland

Hi, I'm just new to this site. I am having surgery on 21st May, I'm a bit nervous about it but eager to get it done. I was reading a few comments there and saw that I have to go on a liquid diet before the op, I wasn't aware of this so I'm glad I came across this forum as there's lots about the surgery that I'm not sure of. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to LBT. When do you have your next appointment with your surgeon? I would definitely ask him/her what the pre-op diet requirements are.

I've not had a pre op meeting yet, ive arranged everything over the phone and the internet, my first pre op meeting is one week before the surgery, so until then I am trying to learn as much as possible about the surgery.

Definitely check with your doctor about his/her pre-op requirements. All are different about what they want you to do and occasionally there are some who don't require any pre-op diet. Good luck to you and be sure to let us know how you are doing!
