Hi,
I have a couple of questions and wondered if you can help. I have my surgery on 22nd April '14:
- how many nights are you expected to stay in hospital?
- have you been given a pre-op diet? Mine has just said nothing to eat after 7am on the day but... What if there is still food in tour stomach?? I expected having to go on a liquid diet for at least a few days.
Thanks
Jess
Hi Jess, I have been told that I will be in for 3 nights. I have a dietician calling me on 2 April to discuss my pre op diet as this needs to be followed for about 2 weeks before surgery to shrink/soften your liver so that the surgeon has good access to your stomach. I will let you know what happens when the dietician contacts me. Take care. M xQuote:

Hi I had my sleeve on 18th Feb. I was on a pre op diet to shrink the liver for a week pre op (basically like Atkins diet very low carb).
I was told that I could be in 2 to 3 days however I came home on day 2 as was feeling fine. Hope all goes well for you all. x
Hi Jess, I'm in Yorkshire too - Huddersfield and booked in to be sleeved on 27th May. Hope yours has gone okay.
