My Sister-in-law is a little freaked!



Recommended Posts

We are going to a birthday party at my sister-in-laws today. I told her about the surgery and let her know that I won't be eating anything at the party because I was on an all liquid diet and she freaked. "You HAVE to eat something! You can't not eat anything that is ridiculous, your doctor is crazy! I will make you a salad and have some fruit for you!" I politely told her not to do that because I could not eat, and I would not eat. She replied, "Well just in case, I am going to grill some chicken breasts for you. No one should go without food for 14 days! That is unheard of!" *SIGH* It's going to be an interesting party!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there and hope you can enjoy the rest of the visit. I often think ppl don' t listen to what we say, they hear only the words that they want to. Good luck next week, I'm getting sleeved on Monday, so we get to start the month off on a new way of living.

      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?
