Followers Do everyone have to go on a pre-op diet before surgery, and if so for how long? Also why does the liver have to be shrunk before hand?
Marty McSkinnystein LAP-BAND Patients June 17, 201214 yr Author stats Simple answer- Obese people tend to have enlarged livers. In order to do the surgery they have to work under the liver. The smaller the liver the easier to work in there. You shrink- liver shrinks.
