Finished all ins req in July then had pre op testing and class req by surgeon, and finally surgery date set for October 16th but gotta lose 13 pounds before surgery. Does anyone have to lose weight prior to surgery? What are your plans to do so, help!

All set for October 9th with Dr Lopez. I am nervous not so much about the surgery but more about what happens after. I've had a gastric bypass in 2000 and a reversal in 2001 and I currently have the band that doesn't work. I hope that this is just not one more failure on my end.

Wow your the first person I ever met that had a bypass reversal. Can you please tell me why u had it reversed in the first place?

Yes I have learned that I am quite the freak of nature. The Dr who did my reversal (and banding) though that the Dr who did the inital bybass nicked my lower intestine. He wanted to be on the safe side so he revesed it. I have to tell you that was the hardest thing to wae up from that and find out that it was reversed. I knew that it meant I was going to gain it back.

One of the reasons I cant wait for the sleeve is that I heard that it is like the bypass where you don't have the hunger.

      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?
