I am scheduled for a revision on April 3rd. Removal of band and revision to bypass. I am not required to do any special pre op diet. I am not complaining, but is this common? I see a lot of comments about the pre op liquid diet and I was curious if not having one is odd. I have the same surgeon doing the revision as did the original banding. I cannot recall of I had to do it for the original banding as it has been several years.

It just depends on your doctor I guess. My doctor has impressed me with his thoroughness. He said the main reason for the pre op diet of two weeks was not so much to lose wt. although that was a plus, but to get me used to putting protein first and to shrink my fatty liver so he could still do laproscopic...
