Getting ready for surgery March 31!



Recommended Posts

Ive been on a low carb diet for a week and when I went for my weighin at the clinic I actually gained 1 lb. I could'nt believe it. I did not cheat at all. The rules are at clinic is that you cannot gain any weight before surgery. Since I gained 1 lb they moved my surgery up one week to March 31. I have to go back before the surgery to make sure I lost that lb. I don't know what to do. I am still going to follow the diet and hope I can lose the weight.

Are you required to do that pre-op liquid diet before your surgery? Congratulations by the way.

Good luck. Mine is scheduled for March 31st at 1 pm Boston time. However I have one more test on the 23rd and unless that one is OK I won't be able to have lapband at all. That would leave bypass or sleeve for me, which are definately NOT my first choice. Keep your fingers crossed. Kim:confused:

      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.
