Hi I would like to know if it is necessary for any particular diet to follow before the banding. My friend did it 4 years ago, she did not follow any pre operation diet. And even I was consulting another Gastric surgeon, he even told me that it is not necessary. Can any one give me suggestions on these...Also my doctor has told me to perform an ultra sound scan of abdomen. Did anyone else do that? He is charging a very high fee for that? Can I skip that?

It is at your doctor's discretion, whether or not there is a preop diet. If your physician doesn't require it and you trust him, then don't do one. If you don't trust him, find another doctor! :)

Same about the ultrasound; I had to have one.

If you're dizzy, just be careful standing etc..but hang in there! :frown: Very important to stick to your post op diet, let your band heal into place well, and set you up for a great experience!

      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.
