Pre Op Visit

Sep 14, 2018

Well, today I had my pre-op visit with my surgeon and did the pre-op orientation. It is really sinking in now. Tomorrow is my first full day of all liquid. I have my support team in place and been reading the post on this site and feel like I have a good idea of what to expect and what I need to do to be successful. 

One thing I am noticing that before and after requirements are different depending on your surgeon. I spoke with someone and they stated that they did not have to do the pre-liquid diet and they did not have a JP Drainage bulb but my surgeon is requiring it do allow me to lose more weight and strink my liver. I wonder why there are so many different requirements based on the practice and wonder which is the best practice? I am going to do as my doctor and team has advised me and will not differ from their instructions.
