Does everyone have to do the pre-op diet?

[Helski]

Hi
Just wondered exactly what this entails for a gastric band. I'll be at work that week and don't really want anyone to know what I'm doing.

I see some sites say it's just a very low cal diet and others that it is mostly milk?

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Thanks.

im having my op at birmingham they gave a choice of 5 pre op diets from normal food to the milk one so ask when you see the dieticians what ones they suggest

I went through THG and did two weeks low cal then three weeks milk and yogurt. It will vary by provider and surgeon - your provider should give you the info you need
