Cravings and appetite before surgery.



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm not yet sleeved, have made the decision to have surgery as soon as we finish relocating between states. My question to all is this, did anyone of you have any cravings or maybe notice you apetite get out of hand?

I find eating like a crazy person. I will be paying for the surgery out of pocket since my insurance sucks and will not pay for any of it, I am looking to be sleeved by the end of this year, I am just so fearful that I will end up becoming so much bigger before I start this process.

Tell you the truth my wait time was only 3 months but ended up being 5, That last month is when the food funerals started. Everything I loved to eat and every place I liked we went to. I wouldn't say I over ate I just ate what I wanted. But now that I know the calories in restaurant food I probably ate a lot.

But the day I started the liquid diet I did not cheat for 2 weeks. I am 5 months out and down 66 lbs. I have not been this low for 40 years. I would do it all over again.

Try to get your head straight before you have the surgery. You have to work the program for it to be successful.

Keep in touch.

      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?
