Hi There! Just Had My Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. My name is Kim. I had my surgery one week ago and I am seeing some good results already!

I lost 7kg on the pre surgery diet and 4kg since my surgery last week! So a total of 11kg already :-) just wondering if any of you out there have some tips or advice? I'm pretty much doing this on my own so I can use all the support I can get :-)

Thank you.

Tips and advice? Wow, I could write a whole book on that. But wait! I DID write a whole book on that.

Sounds like you're off to a good start, but why are you doing this on your own? Does your surgeon not offer any patient education and support?

I strongly recommend you buy Jean's book mentioned in her post above. I wish I had read the whole thing before I started my journey and I recommend it to everyone. No... I do not get a take of the royalties! :-) It is just a great reference!

Jean what is the name of your book?

The book title is Bandwagon, and it has a companion cookbook called Bandwagon Cookery. See my signature line for more info. You can buy either (or both) book(s) by clicking on the Bandwagon ads here on LBT - there's a big one at the upper right corner and a pair of smaller ads at the bottom of the page.

Of you are using a smart phone app to access this site, your signature doesn't show up and the ads aren't either.

But y'all I found the cookbook on Amazon so far.

Becky/26yrsold/Idaho. Band Date Nov. 5. 248/goal 165.

You can also buy both books (at a lower price than Amazon) by going to jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com and clicking on one of the purchase options on the left hand side of the page.

thanks for your interest!

      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?
