** Hi there, I am dominican too and i will have my precedure on 9/7 - I am doing the pre-op diet right now. I am very excited. I have the same question, but i think that I will stick just to clear foods in the beginning and will incorporate other foods later on.. good luck to all of us! Vanessa

good afternoon, I am having my surgery on 9/7 - I was put on a pre op diet for 2 weeks starting today. I am doing the Opti Fast 800 calorie diet (liquid). so far it has been ok. (i started it today LOL). My question is: I have been reading and some people did the pre op diet and some other don't. Is this really necessary? why some Doctors required and some other's dont?? Does it make a diference at the moment of surgery having done the diet and or not?? I have a lot of questions. Thanks for your help! Vanessa

what if PPI??

Good morning, I am new to this forum. I will have my surgery on 9/7/2011 - I am super excited but nervous at the same time. I have requested time off from work. But My HR department asked me how many days i think I will be out on sick leave. I told them that I dependint on the Doctor's orders, probably it will be between 7 to10 days out. I was planning to go back to work on 9/26. Is this enough time?? i want to make sure I give them the reasonable time, but also, I want to make sure I feel well enough to work.

Thanks and best luck to all of us.

Howdy!! mine will be on 9/7 at Baylor Medical Center in Carrollton, TX with Dr. Frank Veninga
