SoonToBeThinKAT

Geez...I'm wondering if I should do a pre op diet anyways to just make sure there r no issues with my liver. Ugh

I think it all depends on the surgeon. My bmi is 41 and i didnt have to do one and a friend of mine who used the same surgeon was bmi of about 50 and she didn't have to do one.

I was told by my NUT that it can push the food you have eaten down so it allows you to eat more bc you don't feel the fullness like you would just by eating. But I have heard a few different reasons.

Good luck!

Mine is 9/21 the day after urs:)

Good luck!

Yay! Hopefully urs approval process doesn't take long! Mine was approved in just a few days!

That is very reassuring! I was afraid that not doing one will cause set backs after surgery but hearing the both of you say u are fine after surgery is awesome. And I can't wait to be lighter 70lbs!

Ok so now that I have my surgery date I'm getting super excited but the one thing I was told is no preop diet that I have to do. I am wondering if I should do one anyways to prepare for what's to come after surgery? Does anyone know someone who did not have to do one and did not ..I guess succeed...after surgery? I think that is my fear..failure.

Wow! That is fast! Hopefully I get info on my survey date on Thursday:)

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I received my paperwork and it said like 2 hours for test and about 1 1/2 hour with the doctor. I dont like test anyways because I think way to much into things so if there was a question " would you like to be a race car driver" I would sit there and think long and hard about it..."It might be fun! i mean I could do it and I would be awesome so yes? I would like to be a race car driver??" lol I agree though..i dont understand why its required only becuase obesity hits every type of person a little nuts or not.

I just looked that up and I did not realize it happens a lot! I guess we all learn something new everyday
