I got my approval last week and scheduled my surgery for the 25th of May. I have not heard back from anyone at my surgeons office in regards to having to do the pre-op liquid diet. Is the liquid diet mandatory for lap rny??????

Thanks

Not necessarily....it depends on your surgeon. Some require a liquid diet and some don't. Who gave you the surgery date? Call your surgeon's office and ask.

Monica....you need to call your surgeon's office and see if they require a liquid diet prior to your surgery. It is really to your advantage to do that. I will shrink your liver and give your surgeon more room to do your surgery lap. Good luck and congratulations on your date.

I didn't have to do a liquid diet but a 2 week low carb, low fat diet & then liquids the day before. Do you have a pre-op visit scheduled? That's when I was given all the info (pre & post op) for surgery. If not I would call the surgeon ASAP & see what you're supposed to do.

Monica, I wasn't on a liquid diet either. I did have to do low carb, low fat for several weeks (doc required a certain amt of weight loss) and the liquids only the day before surgery. I agree with the others call and ask if there are any requirements.

Congrats. I also used Dr. Cavasos he is wonderful (looks 18 thou) I only had to do a 2 day before liquid diet and a prep the night before. But he is great and so is his wife she is the internal med doc in his office you will follow up with.
