Newbie. Scheduled 4 June 15 anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody. I am 35 and overweight (obviously). I am super excited about the new chapter I am about to begin. I am scheduled with Dr. ALmanza. I would love to hear from anyone who has went recently. I know he has been on vacation but any recent stories would be great!!

I am planning on doing Atkins for 2 weeks prior to surgery to make sure my liver is out of the way:001_tongue:

I have done it b4 very successfully but not long term so I feel good about that.

I cant wait to move my ticker down! I have struggled with it for years!

I am an RN in local ER, mother and wife. I love college football and cruises! Now I feel like im on a singles site:)

Anyway thanks for reading, hope to make many new friends!!!

Hi there and welcome!!! You will be sure to find lots of support here in these forums! I don't have a surgery date yet but it will be sometime in early June I think so I will let you know and we can be buddies and go through this together! I am using a doc here in Denver so can't help you out in that department but I've heard the name a lot so I'm sure plenty of others here have used him.

Wishing you all the best on your journey!

HI Sam and welcome

I'm in on June 10th.... and theres quite a few of us with dates for June, so you're likely to find one on the same day too.

I'm still waiting to hear what my pre op diet will be - I think the not knowing is worse!!

Good luck and keep us informed

Kathy

      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?
