Anyone out there having issues with the pre-op diet?

My gas was really bad for 4 days but I had residual problems for another 3-4 days before it was done, it does go away walking helps, drink as much water as you can too.

my preop was just blood tests, an ekg on my heart to be sure cause i hadnt had one in a couple of years, and a pee test to be sure i wasnt pregnant or whatever. They didnt mention any filters or drains nor did I drink any colored fluid at any point before exiting, each doctor is different in what they require for surgery apparantly theres lots of reciepies for WLS LOL

I'm having surgery on 2/26 as well in Columbus! I'm doing the pre op diet right now and it sucks!!

Filter? do you mean a drain? The drain is to see if there is any leakage, the day you are release from the hospital they give you water with green dye on it, if they see any green on the drain then that means there is leakage. My pre-admission test consist on talking to the anestesiologist (i think that is how you spell it, lol) also, you will be given tons of paper work, such as living will, consent forms, etc. and last but not least a pregnancy test (if applicable). Don't worry, it is like a normal check-up. Congratulations on your Journey. God Bless You. Miriam
