Newly banded



Recommended Posts

I just had my band put in on November 17th and while I am very excited I'm a little nervous as well. I am doing better on the post op liquid diet than I thought I would, but it sure is tough to stick to especially since it was just Thanksgiving. Having to watch everyone enjoy a big turkey dinner was difficult, but I figured if I can make it through that and not tear the drumstick out of my sons hands, then I can have success with this.

I was also banded on the 17th. I almost did not go to our family gathering, but I didn't want to disappoint my kids. It was hard at times the doctor had just allowed mushies, so about 3 tablespoons of mushies put me to over filled. I will admitt there were a few times I was kind of sad that I couldn't eat or pick at stuff while my mom was cooking. Then I had my lovely brother teasing every chance he had with stuff like " want some oh thats right you can't" I know he was not meaning it to be be mean but it was hard. I'm glad it's over!

      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?
