Last minute packing check list



Recommended Posts

Just double checking on what I need to pack for Mexico. Got the gas-x strips, tums, crystal light packets, and my blankie. Anything else I should pack? 2 more days - Yay!

I'm also taking extra bandages, neosporin and antibacterial soap. Also taking a small pillow for the travel home

Slippers for walking the halls and I loved my bathrobe for walking the halls, I seemed to have the chills constantly in the hospital.

I highly recommend a heating pad. It helped me so much with the gas pains. Also I brought my Paddington bear to put between my tummy and the seat belt for the ride to the airport and for the plane ride. I'm sure any stuffed animal or small pillow would do.

      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?
