Today Is The Day! Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am nervous and hope that when I wake up from the deep sleep I am not in panic wondering what I have done to myself. I have read that it can happen and I hope by knowing this I am somewhat prepared. One thing that makes me nervous is the anathetic and knowing that I may not be able to be fit with a eng tub due to my TMJ and and a small mouth. I am sure I am not the first person to have this. Wish me luck and I will see you all on the other side.

Today is sat and I had my surgery on Thursday and I just got home around one today. I am glad I got to spend two days in the hospital, I really needed it. I am very sore and the Dr had to fix a very large navel hernia which is still patched Monday. I thought I might be able to get around much better than I am now. I am only eating sf popsicles and Jello and am going to through in some chicken broth to. Not sure how much to eat so I am taking it very slow. Just wanted to check in.Jennfier

So glad to hear your out and on your way to recovering from the surgery. I'm a little nervous to go in tomorrow.

      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?
