Re: Gastric bypass and Hysterectomy
I would recommend speaking to both your GYN surgeon and whomever you see regarding the bypass surgery. Ask any questions you have of both of them and make sure everyone is on the same page. I have had one specialist tweak the orders of another to make sure that all my issues were taken care of--yes, we notified the ordering physician that the orders needed tweaked!
As far as the the bowel prep, not everyone has to do one. Did your surgeon order one for you? If so, they are are extremely salty rather than containing sugar. If you also have to follow a liquid diet, you could avoid the liquids with sugar. The Mayo Clinic has a good list of acceptable foods/liquids when following a liquid diet and you could pick and choose was is okay for you from that list.
Best wishes!
