Pre op..countdown is on



Recommended Posts

Im on day 6 of my 16 day pre op. liquid diet. Im actually quite suprized with myself. I love to eat. I havent really felt hungry yet. As of this morning I have lost 9 lbs. If I could keep this up for a year i wouldnt need any operation but as we all know that wont happen and I will be back in the same boat. I have my operation on Nov. 10 with Dr. Alvarez.Mexico. I was excited about it until a few days ago, then I started to get nervious. Cant wait till its over. :thumbup1:

You sound like the rest of us preop---nervous is normal. Keep up the good work. It is all worth it when you see the pounds dropping off.

I felt dizzy and a bit weak after a week or so on the pre op diet. Just be sure to drink plenty of Water so you don't get dehydrated, which can cause complications. You'll do great.

      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?
