Anyone doing surgery with Dr. Todd Eibes?

Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App

Welcome jess!! I have not heard of Dr. Eibes...where from??
He is with Iowa weight loss specialists, located on West Des Moines and Belmond. He does surgery only in Belmond though. Great place, great person, I'm scheduled for the 21st and they let you stay in the hospital the night before surgery just to ease your mind. I'm excited.

    How long is your preop liquid diet? I did a 1,200 calorie diet and only had to do two days of liquid diet right before surgery. Try to stay focused on your goals. Liquid diets aren't fun but it's important so surgery goes well. You can do this!! Remember, that liquid diet is only temporary and it's a step closer to your goals.
