Couple of questions

[hawk1989 (RNY)]

Good morning everyone.

I just wanted to ask a couple of questions.

1. I have pre-op testing tomorrow and would like to know what sort of testing they do.

2. What did everyone eat/drink the day before the surgery when you were only allowed clear liquids?

I am having my surgery on April 7th.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Christine,
Pre Op Is Just Blood Tests, Sonogram, Questions, Then You'll Talk To The Anesthesiologists And A Nurse. It's Pretty Painless. The Nurses And Everybody Involved At The Hosipital Make You Feel Very At Ease, It's Nothing To Worry About. Your Out Of There Within 3 Hours.
As For The Day Before Surgery & Testing , It Was All Jello And Chicken Broth For Me.
Good Luck Christine, I'll Be Thinking Of You.

Hi all,

I wanted to post this information for you.

For the day prior to Gastric Bypass surgery, your diet should consist of the following, in unlimited amounts:

Juices
Puddings
Yogurts
Jell-o
Clear Soups/Bouillon

Please refrain from eating solid foods altogether. You are not to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.

Hope this helps!
