eating before surgery
I don’t think I’ve posted on this site before, but I do read all of
the posts. I cannot believe that some people can eat the day before
or day of their surgery. The organization I am going through for the
surgery requires you to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to
surgery!
I have approval from my insurance company for WLS, and am going
through the eval process now. Hopefully, I will find out my surgery
date by mid July!

The surgeon who is doing my surgery here in Maine, doesn’t allow you
to eat for 24 to 48 hours. Plus he makes you drink the yummy stuff
(GoLightly, i think it is called) so that you are completely empty.
makes sense really to me. I don’t think they want to have to deal
with food in your stomach when they open it up. Also he gives you a
feeding tube or gastric tube for the first 7 to 10 days. Giving the
pouch plenty of time to heal. Cannot eat or drink in that time.
My initial consult is July 7th with Dr Padiath Aslam in Augusta
Maine. I am sooooo ready for this!!!!
