Anyone else getting sleeved on May 31 2013?



Recommended Posts

I am also getting my surgery on May 31st. Are you on a pre-op liquid diet that's been the hardest part for me. After six months of nutrition meetings and diet finally getting this done. The psych evaluation was probably the strangest thing I've ever done.

Not scared my nerves are kind of bad I just want it to get here already. The fact you don't have to do a liquid diet makes me jealous although after the first two days it really didn't effect me all that much.

Also I forgot to mention if you haven't already gotten a Protein supplement try Iso100 it had 25gm of protein per serving with no carbs or sugar and doesn't taste that bad. I actually like it. I mix it with skim milk it's not bad. Hope this info helps

I feel like I am behind lol. I have a 4 hour pre op appointment on Wednesday from 8-12 maybe I will get my Protein shake their? I also meet the surgeon the night before on Thursday to go over questions.

I am using the Oband center of Las Vegas.

Maybe ill put myself on a liquid diet. What are the benefits?

Most doctors believe the liquid diet shrinks your liver and abdominal cavity. This is to help them in surgery. Also they say the Protein assists in your recovery. It's not a bad idea if you decide to do it. It actually prepares your mind for post-op. Stay positive your new healthy you is only days away.

Yeah the liquid diet does put you in the right mind set and its only tough for the first couple of days. My surgeon had Protein Shakes I could buy but they cost $40 for a case of 30 I went to The Vitamin Shopee and got a tub of the powder for $35 last about the same amount of time but if you get the powder you can mix it with skim milk to add more flavor also with fruit to make smoothies. And I get the "what if's" everybody has those I think at least I have. Just got to keep thinking positive and remember why you chose to do this.

      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?
