I haven't had a bypass but have recently had a gastric band.
I'm not sure whether with the bypass you have to do a pre op diet a couple of weeks before? For example I was only allowed milk and water for 2 weeks before the op and I lost over a stone, so this could help you but only if you are advised to! The idea is to prepare you for life after surgery but mainly to shrink and reduce the fat of the liver as this is moved slightly for the band placement, as I say I am unsure about the bypass but maybe worth a ask. My surgeon said that he wouldn't do it if I hadn't lost any weight as it would be too risky if I hadn't done the pre op diet which obviously makes you lose weight!

Has there been any mention of a pre op diet? X

A physiotherapist? What for?!
Or do you mean phycologist? I had to see one before the op to check that you are having surgery for the right reasons and to check you are able to cope afterwards! They didn't use the words 'to check' but that's what I got the jist of! Xx
