5 Days To Go.....so Excited!



Recommended Posts

On Monday I will get to meet Dr. Alvarez and have my sleeve. I feel very prepared and confident thanks to this website. I want to say thank you for all that have shared their experience and given suggestions, etc. It really has been so helpful to connect with others that are getting ready to go through the same thing or have already gone through it. I have been getting the house cleaned, clothes washed, grocerys bought, and bags packed. Hubby and I are going to San Antonio Saturday then driving to Eagle Pass on Sunday. Since I was lucky enough not to have to be on a pre-op diet we are going out to eat Saturday night on the Riverwalk. I'm almost as excited to get away for a few nights with my husband as I am the surgery (I said almost - lol).

I'm just rambling, I will go now. Please send any words of wisdom my way, I will continue to read and stay connected until Monday. I will check in as soon as I can after surgery.

Thanks again!

      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?
