TOMMORROW 1/3/11 IS MY DAY!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well, after a year and 3 months after I had my band removed due to a full (and painful) slip I am having my gastric sleeve. Although I have an excellent surgical team, I am nervous (once bitten, twice shy)....

If any of you could give me some word of encouragment and a send some prayers my way, it would be so much appreciated. I found each of every person on this site to be so kind and compassionate!!

Wish me luck!

Nina

Hi Nina, I'm sure you'll do great. I've heard that revision people do pretty well in the long run, as they have realistic expectations as they've already had WLS. All the best for tomorrow! tongue.gif

You will do great! I just had my revison (band to sleeve) and I couldn't be happier! The pain meds they give you take care of most of the pain, so don't worry about that. I must say, so far the sleeve is far better than the band. My drive to eat just isn't there. I went to a family New Years event and my liquids were just fine. It didn't even bother me that other people were stuffing their faces because I feel so great. I will be thinking of you!!!!

Good Luck Nina, I'll send up some prayers for you.

I'm getting sleeved on the 5th, and am also quite nervous, although I'm figuring that after one previous keyhole surgery, and an emergency c-section I should be prepared for waking up sore!

Let us know how you get on.

      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.
