Jul Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I am scheduled to be banded Aug. 7th. in South Florida. I was told I will not need to start a liquid diet or any diet prior to surgery. Why do some Dr.'s have you diet and some don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafoon Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The reason for the pre-op diet is to make the liver easier to work around. From what I understand, some people don't have to loose weight in the beginning because their BMI is already low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
