Pre-surgery diet
I have gotten insurance approval so I guess I just won't worry about it. I'll call in the morning to double check but that would be a relief.
Best wishes to all my September surgery buddy's. Looking forward to hearing from you after.

My pre-op diet is clear liq. the day before as well. That's tomorrow!! My doc's PA said I must not gain any weight before surgery. Since my 1st visit in May I have lost 13 lbs. I'm having no snacks at all, cutting down on starches/carbs. and drinking 64 oz of sugar free liq/water minimum.
My anxiety level is rising, not for the choice of having the surgery, but for the surgery NOT being done for some reason. That's what happened in 2013 when my band was taken out.
Good luck to you connaza and all my other September buddies!
