Anyone get denyed the band due to a fatty liver?

[Soexcited 64]

Just wondering?

So many doctors have so many different pre op diets to reduce the size of the liver. Low carb/ Low cal/ All liquid/ Some liquid some solid....1 day all liquid....3 weeks all liquid....no pre op diet at all....my guess is that they just must not know works best, if they did it wouldn't be so all over the board.

My question is were any of you closed up at surgery due to a fatty liver and if so can you tell me what your pre op diet was?

Thanks so much!

Restless Monkey did not get her surgery the first time because of a fatty liver perhaps she will see this and answer your question.

Hi:

I didn't have an issue with a fatty liver. I just wanted to say wow, that's a long liquid diet you have listed - from Sept. 7 to Sept. 30th. Holy cow. Best wishes to you with this. I found the liquid diet presurgical was hard (only 10 days), but if you keep in mind that you're making your surgery safer it helps. Thank goodness for sugar free popsicles.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!
