Pre-Operative Testing*Finished*



Recommended Posts

I just finished up my Pre-Operative Testing for my LapBand surgery. On Monday I have my EGD test and then I start my two week liquid diet. My actual LapBand surgery will be on Tuesday May 21, 2013.

I am so excited and a bit nervous at the same time. I am ready for a change and this tool will help me achieve my personal goals. :)

I understand how you are feeling. My surgery is set for May 24th. I had to jump through all the insurance hoops the last 7 months so it feels like I have been waiting forever, yet now I am getting a little nervous, excited, anxious... so many emotions right now. Good luck with your journey. I hope to keep in touch since our surgeries are so close together. Maybe we can be band buddies. :D

I too understand the excitement all too well because I am set for May 24th. I'm so ready to start this journey after going through the 6 month process. I wish everyone the best and much success!

Yay for May 24th! I can't wait. I finished my last day of work before my surgery today. Good luck to you. Glad to know there are so many people going through this with me.

Congrats to you! What kinds of testing did you have to do? I barely have my 1st consultation with the surgeon next Wednesday and I'm just curious on what I can maybe expect.

Good luck!! I had mine yesterday! Tired, but the worst is the gas pains. And like you, I'm glad other people have done this too! :)

      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.
