Post op
I agree 100% with the other comment. I haven't gone to my pcp after surgery because I'm only 5 weeks out. They recommend labs in 7 to 8 months. I do t anticipate an issue. People have negative impressions of Mexico. When they don't even have the whole story. Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC is wonderful. Can't say anything negative about the facility. I've heard good things about your Dr as well. My husband became more supportive after I explained the health aspects . Less knee pain, feeling better. Improved cholesterol, more energy. If u have blood pressure or diabetes it will improve.

Have many people not been advised a pre-op diet?
On my 2 wk liquid diet, I'm allowed 4 to 6 cups of green leafy vegetables plus 3 to 4 protein shakes. I chose Jay Robb as it is low in carbs and sugar and no artificial ingredients I can also have sugar free popsicles and jello. I m on my 2nd day and doing well Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app

Have many people not been advised a pre-op diet?
My understanding is that the pre op diet helps to shrink your liver so it is not in the way when surgery is done. Either way it's not a bad idea to do it as it gets you in the mindset of drinking shakes and smaller portions Sent from my SM-J727V using BariatricPal mobile app
