Recommended Posts

My pre-op appointment is next week although I won't be banded until July 30th. What should I expect? Blood tests? ultrasounds? chest x-rays?

Hi there,

I also have my pre-op class July 11th & am getting banded July 25th. I would love to know more also about the pre-op. All I do know is I will be getting my scripts to fill and have ready after surgery. The office said I will be having lab work done too. I'm just not sure yet what that entails yet. I'm sure some of these wonderful people on this site will share what their experiences may have been. Though I'm sure it all differs just a bit.

So are you excited, getting nervous? I can't wait!! Eekk (my online girl scream) lol

Trying to keep it light :)

I am not getting the plication. We actually didn't discuss that, but I didn't really know to ask about it either in the beginning. I think I'm just going for the good ol' band :) I'm sure its all going to go well. It's just the anticipation to the lead up I think. I'm trying to be aware and read a lot online. But I'm staying away from the negative feedback & stories. I want to do this with the most positive outlook possible, I don't want to plant seeds in my head of other peoples horror stories & ruminate on them. I'm just excited to be on the flipside (recovery) How about you?

      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?
