Pre surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I'm almost finished with the six month supervised diet and exercise. Also will have the eval with the pysch completed on the 21st. Then one more visit with my PCP then everything will be submitted to UHC. YAY!!!!!!! I'm hopeful that I can get a surgery date end of February or maybe the begining of March. (depending on how long the approval process takes and having to go and get pre-admitted at the hospital and schedule one more visit with the surgeon) I can not believe that it is almost here. Neither can my family. They have been so supportive. I know I can count on them being there for me. Including my extended family here on this forum. I will update once I know when I have a date. Thank you all for the information that is here for all of us that will soon be joining you soon on the looser's bench. :D

Hello Deb. Me too! I have UHC and am getting a little closer on meeting my the requirements. I have one more physician supervised weight loss session and 2 more months of support group meetings. Psych eval was 1/7/11 and since they didn't lock me up, I am hopeful that everything there will be fine. Did you have to do 6 months of support groups too?

No support groups, just six months supervised diet and psych eval. My surgeon needed a gallbladder scan and full labs. Which were completed 1/7.

      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?
