I got my date feeling overwhelmed



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is August 6th.. I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I feel like I have so much to remember and to do before and after surgery. Hope I remember to do it.. getting nervous about my life changing decision. Any suggestions on calming my nerves.

I just got my date too, last week. It starts to subside. at first you get really overwhelmed and think "what am I doing??"

for me, one day... everything just clicked. I said to myself "by this time next year, my entire life will change. I will no longer be a prisoner in my body and my own mind, I will take control of my life and start living again. this is only the beginning of my journey. Its time to take my life back!"

that worked for me and now I'm still a little freaked out but very excited. when is your date?

      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?
