Preparation for Surgery

All WLS require you to lose weight and stick to a pre-op diet in order to shrink the liver to make the surgeons job easier when he operates.

My surgeon wanted me to lose 5% of my body weight, which, thankfully, I done!

My pre-op diet was ok - I was starving to begin with so a month beforehand I started healthy eating which, surprisingly, I enjoyed!

Stick with the pre-op diet and lose weight as the surgeon will cancel your operation even on the day of surgery.

Rick.
