Congrats on your upcoming date..Mine was 07-07-08..I have lost 130 lbs and went from a size 32 in pants to an 16/18 depending on the style..am lovin life again..I have had no problems. Dr De la torre was my surgeon also.
Now to answer you question. I didn't have to do any bowel prep..his nurse told me it wasn't necessary. I quess being on a liquid diet pretty much cleans you out anyway :)..but if your in doubt just call Mo Bariatrics and they will tell you for sure..
Good luck to you and just know that you will be in very good hands. Dr De la torre knows what he is doing..

Hi, I had surgery two weeks ago, and he does not require you do bowel prep. They do ask that you eat a very soft diet the day before and nothing after 12am.
Good luck with your journey, and you are in very great hands, he is a wonderful surgeon!
