The call that I've been waiting 7 months for



Recommended Posts

I got a call from my surgeons office yesterday with my surgery date...........Sept 2. I don't really know how I feel right now, I'm sure in the days and weeks to come I will feel many different emotions. :(

I feel the same way. I have been approved for VSG on the 24th of November. I feel like its forever and now I am second guessing myself. I feel like a loser because I cant lose the weight in the gym and these emotions have been making me eat more. I am also a little depressed/scared about not being able to eat as much anymore. I love to snack and am not sure if I have the will power to stop.:svengo:

Congrats on the call, that is wonderful news. It is normal to feel scared, excited, leery and just about any emotion under the sun. Just make a list of pros vs cons and I think you will end up with a smile on your face. Don't forget to add the fact that your insurance is covering it to your pro list, there are so many people here that don't have that option or like myself I have the coverage but I don't meet medical need requirements.

      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?
