Should I start dieting before the surgery?

Yes, unless your surgeon states otherwise, you should start a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate, low-sugar, high-protein diet 2-3 weeks before surgery. It helps reduce body fat and the size of your liver and helps reduce the risk of surgery complications. We will provide you with pre-operative dietary guidelines.
