Hi my surgery date is for October 25th. He hasn't mentioned a pre op diet. Does EVERYONE usually do a pre op diet or all liquid prior to sx??

Man I can't help how happy I am. Just got The call that my band is approved. Mind u this was 1 week and 1 day from submission to the insurance company!! I went to the surgeon Aug 20 and met with the nutritionist same day. Did my ultrasound and blood work that week and met with the psychiatrist on the 27th and submitted to the insurance on the 30th!!!! I love my insurance !! Mind you my insurance just became active Aug 1!! I am covered at 100 %!!! I didn't even have to submit a letter from my doctor. I just submitted records from my pediatrician showing my weight since 2007!! I feel so blessed an like I won the lottery
