Newbie Here Flipped From Lap To Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone my name is rosa and I switched to the sleeve a couple of weeks ago. I am finally done with my 6 month diet program first woohoo. Everything got turned in to them from my surgeon got a call from the dietician yesterday stating everything looks really good and expect to hear from us later this week or early next. Wooshhhhhh I wasn't even expecting that so glad to hear something positive. I feel really tired weighing 283 and being 25 this is not how I want my life to be anymore.

Looking forward to getting to meet new people on the same boat.

That's exactly what my surgeon said and he specialize in both. He said the lap band is over rated he has seen so many cases of his first lap banders having to get it removed. I was really scared cause all I thought about was half of my stomach being removed!!!! Aahhhhhhh

      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?
