MY SURGERY IS TODAY!



Recommended Posts

I am soooooooooooo nervous! Don't know what to expect. So excited but scared at the same. I will be at Kaiser in 3hrs, still not sure what I should take with me. Yes I know, I'm a huge mess and hungrrrrrry from this 2 day liquid diet. Wish me luck!

Congrats! This is an anxiety provoking experience that we have all gone through. Pretty soon you will be at Kaiser and wheeled into the OR and presto, your waking up and it's done. Can't wait for you to join me on THE BIG LOSER'S BENCH! :)

Relax and don't worry about bringing too much - the hospital should provide you with pretty much everything you need. Totally normal to be feeling anxiety right now. As soon as you get into the OR prep, they will give you some valium or something to relax. It's a great adventure ahead - smile and get ready for the trip!

I packed everything I was told I should pack and didn't use 99% of it. As another poster said, the hospital provided everything that I needed. The only thing I was very happy I had with me was my smart phone and charger.

      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?
