about the pre-op diet: the doctor told me i should only drink liquids one day before the surgery and thats it!! may be because of my age and the fact that i never drank alcohol in my life my liver was not enlarged so much but thats only what i think, i didn't get the chance to ask the doctor -

i didn't know about the multivitamins for life, i guess the doctor was going to prescribe another 6 months of it i also think the antibiotic is for a quick healthy recovery for the stomach and the wound -

Any one not have pre-op diet???
BaraaMehdar replied to christi.jones08's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my doctor didn't ask for a pre-operative diet neither and he is on of the best in Jeddah he did the surgery for 3 of my friends without any complications nor pre-operative diets i guess it is just optional or depending on the patients liver size and the amount of fatty tissue in the abdominal cavity
