Update On My Possible Operation



Recommended Posts

Well, I went to doctor on Monday and I check in to hospital on Tuesday for all the checkups. I was so excited that I would have my operation next week. However there were some fall backs. Hospital did not have the staples cartridge for the operation. With the new procedures, they order after a patient is approved. I know this is not anybodies fault however I felt so bad.

So, if they order the staple cartridge for me, I can have my operation mid-late April. But then my recovery time will fall on the fair I should be attending. 1-19May, I will be at Germany for the big exhibition. So I have to choose one of them. I have talked with my doctor and we will plan the operation after my travel. It is one way better; I will not be stressed thru my recovery time. But it is bad; I will lose these weights late.

Actually I am still on pre operation diet. As my doctor says “meat and vegie” diet. I feel like if I quit the diet, I will lose the motivation of losing weight. I have lost 1 more kg. so now I have lost almost 8kgs.I am planning to continue to this diet till end of may. I hope to lose at least 8-10kgs.

So this is the last update of my situation.

      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?
