Sleeve PLication on 1/15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

First let me say that I'm so glad to have this forum to here all our stories and get the encouragement I need to move forward with this surgery. I'm traveling to TJ to get my surgery with Dr. Lopez Corvala. I see this as the start of a journey to a heathly life. I'm like so many of you in that I've tried & tried to lose weight but always ended up heavier than before. I'm so tired of having all these aches & pains that I hope are due to the extra weight. I'm just a little nervous, not so much about the surgery itself but the trip home so soon after. I'm being released and then staying over night before my trip back to the east coast. Should I pack my Clear Liquids to have something to put in my new tummy. I can't even imagine not being hungery after the few tablespoons of food. I'd realy like to hear about the liguid phase of recovery.

Thanks all,

Claire

I stayed in 3 nights post op, as I was feeling pretty bad, but I felt LOADS better on day 4. Just a bottle of Water should be fine. I think it took about an hour to get back to San Diego, as the taxi driver will have an express pass. Jus sip, sip, sip. All the best and I look forward to hearing how you get on after!

      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.
