Pre op Gastic Bypass

[mhpp]

I just got my date, Jully 11, Is it normal that my Doctor has not put me on a pre op diet yet??

Not sure there is a normal here - but typically the diet depends on your current BMI and needs. I know that you will need to do a pre-surgery type diet a week before to help reduce the size of the liver and prep you for surgery -but that also depends on the doctor. (that said the OCC docs do put you on a pre-surgery diet at least two weeks before any type of weight loss surgery).

Hope that helps.
