2 of my friends had the DS in Brazil in 2004. Not only was there no pre-op diet but the staff took them to an all you can eat buffet the night before.

I've heard a couple people lately, about not having to do the "pre-op" diet, I wonder why?

All surgeons must be different, I am so nervous of the diet but... I WILL be sticking to it, I am strong enough to do this.

No doubt about it.

I just wonder why some people are not required to do one?

because surgeons are not clones nor are they God. Every one has his/her own idea about what to do.

Definitely every surgeon is different. I had a really strict 2 week pre-op diet of liquids only. It was tougher than the post-op food plan!

I don't have to do a pre-op diet. I was very surprised.
