Had surgery 2day!



Recommended Posts

Dear friends I just had surgery 2day an here I'm writing. My day started at 5am since I'm in Colorado and I prefer to use my NYC hour. Surgery was at 9am. everything was great. My doc and his staff are the best! I recommend him. Lapband surgery was $8950. I left clinic around 2pm. Headed to hotel, took my meds and then I hit the mall. Bought lots of things for my kids, their dad,and my mom. Hours later went to hotel, had meds, chicken broth, shower and here I am, talking 2 you guys. No pain at all! Just had some nausea but the med removed it immediately.

It's 10:30pm in Colorado and 12:30am in NYC. Follow up w doc 2moro and then back to NYC at 6pm Colorado time. I flew alone and hired caretaker here. I'm talking tony guys from the bad and she is on Facebook, cant b better. Soon both will sleeping.

Those who don't have any support like me, don't b afraid of doing what u gotta do. Have ur surgery, travel if u have to, find a fill doc, borrow the money, but don't let people and ur situation stop u. Follow ur dream bc lapband Is not about being skinny, it's about getting ur life back in order to enjoy it and to share it w ur love ones. It's to admire yourself and finally to see u in the mirror and saying hello to the person u used to b or to the face u wanted to have.

(I will continue to write on my page, it's getting too long) an I need to rest. Good night family!

God bless. Courage of a champion. The most unselfish yet selfish thing we can do is become better people. ( health and mentally) at the end of the day it will benefit us all so much.

      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?
