Congratulations! Not much longer to wait.

Advice?

Take a pillow with you for the ride home... you'll want it to cover your tummy if there's any bumps in the road. Also a heating pad is great for helping to break up the gas.

Remember to walk, walk, walk, and sip, sip, sip. And walking doesn't have to be much. Most days I paced in my bedroom or walked around my apartment building. Easy stuff. :o)

Good luck!

I am being banded tomorrow as well. I didn't sleep well last night so I'm taking a sleeping pill tonight. My doctor found a lump in my breast on Monday and I am having a mammogram on Dec. 30. I've had them before and they're no big whoop, but I hope it's not more difficult post-surgery. So I've got THAT on my mind too. Merry Freaking Christmas!

Good luck to you.

So excited for this day !!!!any advice that anyone can give me for that day ?

      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?
