Monday's the Big Day!!!lots of questions still



Recommended Posts

It's finally here! Monday I'm getting my TT, some Lipo around the hip-area (plus hernia repair). :lol:

I am so excited I can't stand it. I do have a couple of questions I'd like to ask those who've had this done before. :biggrin: A couple I forgot to ask the PS. I'm sure each surgeon is different, but is the port something that is moved during PS? I'll have to try to remember to ask him on Monday. If they end up just leaving it where it is, is it something that I can get moved or replaced after the fact? I'm not concerned at all about scarring. I doubt i'll be wearing a bikini anytime soon.

Next question - how long were you PHYSICALLY unable to get out of bed ( I mean except for the usual going potty, getting up to at least get some moving around done)?

How was the weight loss after the TT and after the swelling went down? did the band feel tighter?

Last question, but doesn't really have much to do with the surgery.....I've been having some pain in the area of my port and where I think the actual band is. Any clues as to what that might be? Will the port/band hurt more once the excess skin was removed?

I apologize for all the questions. I greatly appreciate any help and advice i can get. Thank you. :wub:

      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?
