LAP-BAND® Surgery and LAP-BAND® Discussion Forum - View Single Post - I don't want to diet before banding or pre-op diet. Is this normal?

I am a med-surg nurse and understand where you are coming from, however, I know myself all too well. I know that if I had negotiated the pre-op diet, then I would find a way to cheat the band by justifying this short-cut or that short-cut. And for your info, no trocar was introduced into my umbilicus with this surgery. All 5 incisions are above the umbilicus. Think how proud of yourself you'll be for following the program, as it was presented to you. You are so close, why take chances?
Good luck on your journey.
