Dr. Richard Scott, Columbia, MO

Can anyone give me guidelines what kind of pre surgery diet Dr. Scott requires.  I found out today my insurance has approved me for surgery from his clinic.  I weigh right at 400 pounds. Thank you, BobM.

Howdy Bob..... Dr.Scott is my doctor....I just love him and his staff to death.....They have all been so sweet and nice to me..... Dr.Scott's pre surgery diet is a two week one....If he don't want you to loose more due to your weight and BMI..... It consits of protein drinks, broth, crystal lite, coffee, tea & waters......  I had a high BMI so I had to loose 50lbs before surgery so I have been working at the diet for around 3 months now... I just started my two week pre-op diet this past Monday and if all goes well I will be having surgery June 4th....... Hope this is what you were looking for....Good luck....God Bless.....

Hi Bob,  Dr. Scott's my doctor too.  Tammy is right its an all liquid diet.  Lana told me she drank the broth from soups, (just drained off the veggies or noodles.  This is a lot better than just the bulllion (sp).  People will give you lots of sugguestions to get thru this.  Good Luck  Susan
