Certain Uncertainty: 3-JUN Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

I met with the surgeon today and got my date... 3-JUN, 10:30am. I have a sleep study for CPAP titration tonight and my PCP pre-surgery physical Thursday. I don't have to do a liquid dlet for the next ten days, thank goodness... just Clear liquids the day before.

I am still uncertain of what lies on the other side. I am certain I'm on the right path.

The final ten days before Change begins...

Not sure what the title of your thread means. Are you uncertain about going forward with the surgery or is your surgery date uncertain?

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274

I am still waiting for the insurance to cave and give me what I want LOL but I know what you mean. Ten days seems so short but so long at the same time. I am looking at an end of January date probably because at my size I will probably need to do the liquid diet shake thing for about 2-4 weeks. And I wont have the money to cover my portion til July 20th. Good Luck! Keep me updated as to your surgery and success!!!!

JEALOUS you don't have a preop liquid diet! That was honestly the hardest part for me... it's been smooth sailing for me since surgery. I have had no complications, no nausea, no vomiting, no food intolerance - everything tastes the same... it's been great.

Had surgery 3 wks ago yesterday, I'm down 25lbs since surgery. That's over 8lbs a week - never lost that quickly before!

      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.
