Anyone ever try it? How is it health wise? I'm just looking for something different

Anyone go through this? I'm going through my pre-op diet and since starting it, every time I wanna eat, I start hiccuping! What the?

Most likely towards the end of the year due to the 6 month diet. I'm really excited

It's a totally rational fear, but one that is not unexpected!

Thank you so much for your amazing response! I'm really happy to see that you and I are both having the same doctor as well! I really do like Dr. Jawad! He seemed like such an amazing guy and very caring for what he does!

Hey guys, so I'm sure this is a thing we all experienced, and that is nervousness about going under! I never have before and am so scared. Did anyone else feel this way? If so, how'd you calm your anxiety over it? Thanks[emoji173]️

Same here! I'm 5-10, so our BMI is very close. I'm a little behind you, I'm awaiting my first appointment for the first weigh in!

Hey guys! My name is Robert, today I just saw Dr. Jawad at ORMC, in Orlando, Florida. At today's appointment, we discussed three possible procedures. I currently weigh 430 pounds, and he decided that the best operation for me, would be a duodenal switch! I'm super nervous about the operation, but I can see nothing but the results, and amazing responses about the operation! I absolutely love this community that I have found, do you guys have been absolutely amazing with your support! Any tips or feedback about the surgery that you can give me I would love to have! Thank you so much!

Do you all know if they normally provide any kind of dietitian? When I called the doctors office they stated that they don't have any strict kind of diet plan, I didn't know if that was something I have to go through health insurance to get or whatever

Thank you so much for the valuable feedback!

I loved reading all the responses to this, I'm still a few months out from my operation, and I'm incredibly nervous, but I'm so happy to hear that I'm not alone

Hey guys! So, I'm going to have my consultation with my surgeon in a few weeks. However from what I have been told, the health insurance is going to want me to enrole in a six-month diet. Is that a normal thing? Also, do you know if something like that is usually supervised with the nutritionist or a dietitian?

I'm so happy to a found this app, there are so many people here who are in my shoes, today I scheduled my appointment with my doctor to have a consultation and decide which surgery is going to be best for me. I'm very lucky to where my health insurance is covering the procedure, and at 410 pounds I really want to be able to live a full life of health! I've never had anything like this done before and I am extremely nervous. I'm just really happy that there's a form where I can turn to for emotional support.
