OMG surgery wednesday



Recommended Posts

Hello all out of curiosity how many lapband surgeries has your surgeon done. Mine has done 600 plus. However I don't know if that's a good number or should it be higher. I'm suppose to be banded on Wednesday and of course now three days before I start to freak out and question everything. I do know the hospital is a center of excellence and probably one of the best hospitals in nj. Any info would be so greatfully appreciated.

I have no idea how many mine has done...600 is a good number, that's enough to certainly know what he/she is doing.

It's pretty normal to freak out and question everything....just keep in mind that. And if they are a center of excellence that is awesome. That means they have been monitored and audited on not only surgical outcomes but patient care and followup as well. Sounds like you are in good hands.

I'm not sure how many my Doctor has done; my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday as well and I'm feeling a little nervous right now. I think it's all normal.

Good Luck Wednesday!!!

      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?
