pre-op diet -- Dr. Moran Raleigh

Just wondering what Dr. Moran's pre-op diet is like, for LAP-BAND patients?

I think it depend on the patient. The only thing I had to do is go on liquids the day before surgery and to make sure I did not gain any weight until surgery.

Hey Pamela_m, I am pre-op and have one final appointment tomorrow morning with Mental Health (yeah!!!).  I asked that same question and he said that he does not require any preop dieting for weeks like some other doctors may require.  Just don't gain anything, and try to lose some pounds so the liver can be shrunk.  Please the more you loose preop, the better your end total results will be (total lbs. lost).

Thanks to both of you for posting . . . I've had to postpone my initial consult    and won't be able to see Dr. Moran until JUNE . . . but I'm not giving up, my timetable will just be a little more drawn out!!
