Starting My Journey



Recommended Posts

I had my consultation, NUT evaluation and labs yesterday. Have my Psych Evaluation on the 29th and just waiting on the letter from my PCP. I am nervous and anxious all at the same time. I had been given the choice of sleeve or RNY and I can't say I have completely made up my mind, but I am leaning toward the sleeve. The sleeve is what my surgeon suggested and said, "If it were me I would get the sleeve." I trust my surgeon, therefore I am probably going for the sleeve. ;-) Have my endoscopy on Monday and colonoscopy on friday, lol. How about having the whole system checked out in a week ;-) I'm on my way to the new me! Glad I finally made up my mind to have Bariatric surgery.

Congrats! I say go for the sleeve. I was hesitant about it when I met with my surgeon at first but after I started reading this site I was convinced that it was the thing for me. I was sleeved three weeks ago and I couldn't be more happier.

Continue to read the posts here and do your research but I think you will find that this particular surgery is the way to go.

Good luck to you!

      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?
