Pumkin: 3 days of clear liquids before surgery. I have to start mine on 8/11 as my surgery is 8/14. Have you attended the nutrition class? They give you a very good binder with all the info. I was expecting the clear liquids to be for a longer time. I have read of people having to do clear liquids for weeks at a time. Where are you from? Are you self pay or insurance? My appoinment was on 7/18 and I already received an approval letter today 7/24 (yippee!). Have you had your blood work drawn? I got a call back from the nurse saying my iron was low so I am desperate to build it back up. I don't want to an reason for the operation to be cancelled. Especially since I have to drive about 5 hours to get there.

Pumpkin: You will get the time and your liquid diet papers during preop. I had a full day of everything because I live so far away. You will get that info during your preop. Everyone is really nice at that office.

I am being banded by Dr. Metz on August 14th also. Are you scheduled for early in the morning?
