I got date in Feb 8th

Hi, I got my date on the Feb 8th. One question, do we have to loose 20 lbs before the surgery can take place? I forgot to ask.. Thanks.

Congats on your date. You need to check with your sugeon about whether he requires a pre- op weight loss. My surgery is 2/16/2006. My surgeon has a diet of clear liquids and protien shakes that you are on for 2 weeks before surgery to shrink your liver to make the surery easier. I'm planning on starting high protien low carb Jan 1st in preperation for the rest of my life. Good luck Cindy
