Hi can anyone tell me about what to expect from the pre-op of a gastric bypass?. i have heard about the pre-op of a band, is it the same?. i will get my date next tme iam at the hospital, and then have to have a camera put down, but not sure on the pre-op diet.

Thanks everyone.:)
 
Hi Alison x I think you will probably find the pre-op bit is the same across the board whatever op you have.
The difference is what your provider likes to use for preference, and then also I think some allow a variance of which diet if you can't get on too well with the intial suggestion.
I was given a low cal low fat diet to follow and it was quite strict. I was only on it for just under a fortnight but I lost about 8lbs on it
 
Can I clarify? Do you have to have a camera down your throat as part of the pre-op?
 
I didn't have a camera down!! Thankfully..
 
Hi ruth, at sunderland u have to have a camera down first thats what i was told but some maybe different.
