My New Life starts Dec. 29th!!!!!



Recommended Posts

So I went yesterday for my pre-op with the surgeon. Was really uneventful just a quick chat with him about how he will be changing me physically but he can not change my brain. It hit me hard when he said that but I am certain that I am ready for this big change and my little brain will be fine when it sees how great I will look and feel.

December 29th I will be sleeved and I am incredibly excited. The only bummer part is I will be following a high protein/low carb/low fat diet for Christmas Day. No worries as I am up for the challenge. I passed one test yesterday when all my students had pizza for their Christmas Party and I passed on it. It looked and smelled so good.

I am willing to make the sacrifices knowing that my weight will never be an issue again!!!!!!!!

Grats! Skipping food for Christmas day (and drinking on New Year's Eve) is a small price to pay for a new life.

      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?
