I had my surgery June 21, and I'm new here!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery June 21. My surgeon, Dr. Chapman, had me complete 2 weeks on a liquid diet. I lost 19 lbs. the surgery and recovery was much harder than I thought. I had 3 c-sections, so I assumed this would be a piece of cake, being as it was laparoscopic. I was wrong. The nausea was awful. I spent 2 nights in the hospital then came home. The doctor has me on Water and Protein Shakes for two weeks. I am going to wait until my 2 week post op appointment to get weighed. The worse thing now is pain in my large incision of the left side of my stomach.

It's the worst and have your dr order you celebrex , it was a lifesaver with the pain...because they did so much work in that one area is why you have so much pain, I had 4 c sections and never felt that amount of pain, feel better

      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.
