pre-op

I am scheduled to be banded on 3-11. I am worried because I have cheating on my pre-op diet for the last few days. I did great for the first week and a half and lost 10 lbs. Can anyone tell me if it is a big deal that I have been cheating?

it depends on why they put you on the diet. i had to go on a diet to lose 20lbs. i lost 10 and then gained it back and everything was fine. the risk for me was to have an open rny instead of laproscopic. will he do it if you dont do as good? i wish i could help or give good advice but i didnt follow it myself. if i knew surgery would be cancelled i would have done better. good luck to you. i will keep you in my thoughts.

Its my understanding we get put on the diet to shrink the liver so the operation is safer. Take care. Hope this helps!
