Surgery Plan In Place



Recommended Posts

I live 2.5 hours from my LB surgeon and I'm divorced so I had to find someone to take me to and from. Tonight, my parents volunteered to drive me down the day before (for pre-op consult), pay for two connecting hotel rooms for us all to spend the night, and maybe spend the night of surgery if I'm not up to a 2.5-hour car ride after surgery. My parents are awesome and it's so great to have such wonderful support. One more step toward my goal! I'm so excited!

That is awesome! Since my husband and I banded on same day, my in laws came to stay for the day. My fil went back home ( 1 1/2 hours) but on Friday am at 4:00 when I called my mo and sister to take me to ER. he allied in and drove back here to drive my husband up to the hospital and pick up my child! Then when I thought I was over the hump (but was not) my mil who had just gone home day before and doesn't drive often...showed back up to help again! My family has been a God send during this time for us! I'm happy you have that support....let them help 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.
