Ding Ding-Round 3 for Me



Recommended Posts

Once again i am facing surgery-this time because my port flipped and i cant have any fills,obviously, with it being like this.

My last surgery was to take out the stitches because it was irritating a nerve and causing a lot of pain. So now Im going in for the exact opposite. Hurraaay!!Im not o bummed out though--I`ll get some(much needed)time off of work, although it will be nice to have some vaca time without surgery!!

Anyways, I`ll need to get this done hopefully this month,along with taking my Insurance License as well this month(just got back from a 2-day course).Its wicked intense and Im trying to study like crazy. So,my stress never seems to end...looking forward to the weekend though-I will need some cocktails for sure=-)

Hi all, Im back from m y surgery...it was very very painful--almost as much as the initial banding. I think one of my ribs might even have gotten bruised--OW!lol i could never imagine breaking a rib. But im feeling better now-today i even went out and did a little shopping. I also had a fill which is more restricting-its perfect (again! lol). Anyways just wanted to update everyone.Thank you all so much for your warm thoughts and prayers =-) Hopefully 3rd times the charm!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
