Emergency bariatric care may be needed if you experience severe abdominal pain, complications from weight loss surgery, or symptoms of nutritional deficiencies.
Now, everybody has heard about that “famous bariatric pre.op op diet”. Once you have completed our medical form and you have been accepted for surgery and you have your surgery date set, we will send you your specific pre.op diet. Most pre.op diets last anywhere from 7 days to 21 days prior to surgery depending on your current BMI.
We can’t stress enough how important it is to follow the pre.op diet. The pre.op diet is designed to shrink your liver because a large liver prevents your surgeon from visualizing certain anatomy during the procedure. If the liver it too large, it then becomes unsafe to perform your Bariatric Surgery.
This short video describes “pre op diet” and what is involved. Reach out to us with your questions. It’s our job to provide you with the information which you require to make an educated decision.
