Anyone Getting Sleeved In Bakersfield,ca



Recommended Posts

Wow guys I am really nervous now. Garcia did a friends of mines surgery Nov 28. I stopped by to ask him how it went. He had a leak and has 4 drainage tubes and a feeding tube. They are going to convert him to a RNY but haven't done it before. I suggested he go to South Bay or San Diego where they have done a zillion.

The only thing that calms my fears is that he has been totally non compliant since day 1. And I've talked to many here who are problem free

I went to a class at bariatric solutions on Tuesday and the nurse was talking about a guy who had a leak. She said he went through a drive thru and ordered and ate an entire Big Mac. Is this the same person?

Hey kndi86' date=' just wondering how you're doing?[/quote']

I'm doing ok....it's been a huge adjustment but in time it will be good. I'm on soft foods now and sometimes it's difficult but I need my nutrition. Another thing I find difficult is getting all my fluids. Trying to balance the drinking and eating has been trying but I will get it one of these days. Came back to work this week so very glad it's the weekend! Thanks for asking! How are you?

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
