So Monday the 17th is my surgery and I'm really nervous. I did horrible on my Pre op diet and I'm nervous that things could go wrong. I had the band last year and everything went smooth but this is a little more serious. Has anyone had an complications during surgery after not following their Pre op diet?

I am also Monday and pretty nervous. Fortunately, I had very little asked of me as a pre op diet. I asked a couple of co workers who already had the surgery about the diet and they also said that they didn't really follow it and they are now doing beautifully with no complications. Good luck tomorrow! My surgeon moved my time up from 9:30am to 7:30am, so it'll be an early day for me.

Never had PreOp diet- some doctors don't require it

one reason you are put on a pre-op diet is to help shrink the liver, this helps the surgeon/you during the WLS

some dr.'s want you to loose 5% or 10% of your weight pre WLS

this pre-op stage, getting ready to change your eating habits,drinking, eating less, etc etc. - these are habits that will become your new way of life - in other words, you are easing into the new Sleeve world

that being said................you didn't follow the pre-op - but thats over with, whats done is done - the present is all you need to worry about

today, tomorrow and the future---for the rest of your life - you must be diligent with your new way of life in respect to your food habits, how you deal with food

follow the rules of the sleeve - otherwise you get 1,000 whips with a wet noodle!!

resqme4 - girlfriend the above goes for you too

both ladies have a wonderful nap tomorrow through WLS - and a great recovery

shortly you'll be on that long, forever journey through Sleeveland

good luck

BEST OF LUCK!! I also get sleeved tomorrow...
