Recommended Posts

Thanks to everyone here who have answered my crazy questions, given me encouragement/advice and support. I actually have VST and all of you to thank for getting me to this day. This was the first place I came for information back in August and it was VST and it's members that gave me the courage to do this....

I'd appreciate prayers and positive thoughts.

And by the way, I am freaking starving!!! I've been on Clear liquids for 2 days and well, I hope this is not a sign of things to come because I could a giant steak RIGHT NOW....

Thanks you guys! XOXOXO

It really does get better and after surgery you don't remember all the torture of pre-op. I lived off tropical sf Popsicles!

Good luck and hope you have a smooth recovery. Mine was 12/19 and I have no hunger at all.

      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?
