First Post-op Appt Tomorrow -What should I Expect?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on December 17, 2012. Tomorrow is my first postop doctors appointment. One thing I've learned through this journey is that I haven't been as prepared as I thought I was to ask all the right questions of the right people. I'm still having quite a bit of right-sided pain so I'm definitely going to ask about that. But other than the pain, my question list is pretty much empty. It just seems a little odd. I feel unprepared. I'm not scheduled to meet with the nutritionist but I'm going to pop my head in and ask her a question or two. I'm guessing this appointment is just for them to make sure that my incisions are healing and I'm not having any major problems, correct?

So far here Are my numbers:

Weight at the beginning of my pre-op diet 262.

Weight on day of surgery 253.

Weight today 241.

Mine is where I had gotten the next leg to my diet, I saw the surgeon and the office NUT any way, there was no need to schedule. They asked simple questions no more for me, the surgeon asked about everything covered pain and healing and examined my incisions, I didn't need to have to much to ask but asked about Vitamins and medicines. The surgeon set that all straight. I would not worry so much that I hadn't all the questions, they just may have the answers already you'd need and will let you know whats going on next.

I hope your pain is better soon.

      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.
