    I don't know how much guidance I can give, I am a newbie sleeved on 4/7 but I can definitely be a great cheerleader :) Feel free to add me if you like.

    No my surgeon only requires 2 days of liquid diet before surgery. I don't know why this is so different then most but that's what I was told to do.

    So I completed my preop class today and everything is all set for surgery. Start my liquid diet 2 days before and should get my check in time for surgery about the same time. I started a count down on my phone lol. Getting nervous and anxious but really prepared to finally have this happen.
