I bit worried bout enlarged liver thing. Not been given any advice bout diet from direct health care or anything despite sending them an email.

Hi Sarah

Firstly - welcome aboard.

I had RNY with Dr D so it may be a little different - just ring direct healthcare and double check but basically I didn't have to follow any specific pre-op diet -I could eat anything I wanted right up until midnight before the surgery - in fact my last meal was full on Thai Banquet!

Good luck with the op - Dr D is fabulous and will look after you well.

Hi, I have not had the band with dr.d but i did just have the band put in. I was very conserned about the two weeks before surgery. I did just fine. I cheated alot but i was fine. do your best thats what my dr. told me. I dont think its as big of a deal as they make it sound. Good luck.

I am on meal replacement shakes ( 2 per day) protein and 2 cups of salad or vegetables, No sugar or caffeine.

I didn't have any preop diet for the band. My advice is just to not eat anything really heavy 3 days before and you'll be fine..
