HELP!!! Questions I need answered ASAP!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so my surgery is a week from tomorrow and I don't even remember them telling me when I have to start the liquid diet, or when to stop taking the Vitamins, or when to stop taking my other pills. Ugh, I just got a date at my consulation three days ago and this is all happening so fast I haven't gotten to ask all my questions to my doctor yet but I don't want to fall behind! :)

My surgery is tomorrow, June 7. I had no liquid pre op diet. I just can't eat after midnight tonight. Stop taking all Vitamins a week before surgery, as for your other meds....I couldn't tell you. The only other meds I was taking, was birth control pills, I also had to stop those 2 weeks before surgery. I hope that helps a little bit, otherwise make sure you call your surgeon's office tomorrow morning to have your questions answered. Good luck!!

Call your surgeon's office. These are questions for them, not a bunch of strangers.

Everybody patient and surgeon are different.

      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.
