Gonna Get My Groove Back.....



Recommended Posts

Hi All...

This is my 1st posting of this journey.. One week from Friday (5.24.13) is my day... Been reading a lot on this site, I love it! All the questions and answers, seem to set my mind somewhat at ease. I've spoken with a few folks on turnaround time back to work---I have my procedure on Friday and back to work on Tuesday... Hopefully, I will be ok since previous surgeries were quick turnaround time for me.. Nothing strenuous at desk on phones all day-- fingers crossed... Any recommendations? Any other surgeries that day?

That's a pretty aggressive return to work date. I thought the same thing since I have a desk job and work from home, but I felt pretty beat up and dehydrated for a few days. Are they prepared to let you have a few more days if you need it? Good luck with the surgery. Congrats on the beginning of your exciting journey!

"I have my procedure on Friday and back to work on Tuesday"

Who do you think you are? Governor Christie? ;)

I was back to work(I too work from home) the same day of surgery, but just an hour or so. But definitely 3-4 days later I was back full time. I had an easy recovery compared to so many I see here. Just be prepared to take some afternoons off that next week if you need to.

My surgeon, who flew to Mexico an had surgery by Dr Ortiz on Friday claims to have done an operation on Monday! Good for all you people who can. I enjoyed my couple days of rest!

      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?
