Everyones pre op is different. My pre op appt wasnt until a week before surgery, but i got instructions via mail to start the pre op diet 2 weeks out. Mine consisted of 70-80 grams of Protein (protein shake or food) no veggies no fruit - just s/f Jello, crystal lite, no milk products.

Hi,

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I did not have to start a pre-op diet until Monday. I guess it just depends on the Dr.

hello there! Looks like you and I are having our surgeries on the same day. Good luck to you! :thumbup:

I think the pre-diet depends on the doctor. After reading through the forums I actually called the PAT nurse and my surgeon's office and was told by both of them that they require a 24-hour pre-op diet, but nothing extending out beyond that.

      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.
