Special pre op diet

Hi all!! I have surgery with Dr.Bertha of advanced laparoscopic surgeons on March 14th. Anyone have him and can tell me the pre op diet and if there is a bowel prep? I won't find out till 12 days before, and I would like to know now!!!! Thank you guys! Kamma

I had surgery with Dr. Bertha on January 31. Everything went great. There was no post surgery diet, except to try to lose 3-5 pounds and not go nuts right before the surgery, because that makes your liver too fatty. The bowel prep wasn't bad at all. I took a little bit of phospho-soda with apple juice in 3 servings, 15 minutes apart starting at 10 a.m., and then drank a few glasses of water during the day. Then I just sat around and read magazines and watched TV all day (in between visits to the bathroom). I was not crampy or uncomfortable at all.
