Congratulations on your surgery! I'm a bit envious (still waiting for a date) -- can you believe I'm looking forward to the pre-op diet? I just want to get started! You are beginning a whole new chapter -- so happy for you!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. Follow your pre op diet to the letter this last week. You don't want to wake up and find out you weren't banded because you did not follow the diet. It's rare, but sometimes the doctor will not band you if your liver is still too fatty. Compliance pre and post op is the key to success. Good luck!

I feel like I'm the only one on the site without a pre-op diet.

I have to eat soft foods 12-24 hours prior to surgery and nothing after midnight the night before.

I just saw your ticker Lauren. It looks like you've already lost 40 lbs. so maybe that's why you don't have to do a pre-op diet. Good luck with your surgery!

I'm wondering that as well.. It really hasn't been discussed either way. Soooo in not gonna mention it lol. My doctor is open and honest about everything and I know a few other patients who have had her with no pre- op.... So maybe it like that for all??

The 40lbs is the remainder of the 65 total I lost 3 years ago... So it's slowly finding its way back... I CAN'T WAIT for Lapband.

      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?
