One step closer



Recommended Posts

I had my one visit requirement with the dietician yesterday, she explained the rules of surgery and asked general questions about my health and diet. She advised me based on my insurance type, the time in between seeing her and having the surgery is typically 6 weeks, that made me really feel closer to my destination. She told me that the surgeon that's performing my surgery schedule fills up really fast and for me to call ASAP if I'm trying to have my surgery this year, I thanked her we ended the visit and as soon as I got to my car I called and schedule my first visit with the surgeon for oct 22 just a few days away. Once I have my second visit with the surgeon I will be given an actual date, in between time I will need to see a physc once and get some labs done. I can't believe this is all happening so fast, and I pray to have the same success that many of you have experienced. I am so ready to move on to what my life is meant to be. I know that my 38 years of life has been full of struggles and down times, I've had the ability to smile and just play it off and make the world think that my life is wonderful and complete, but deep inside I felt pretty but very limited and worth less because my size is more. I look at these years as a hard learning experience that will compliment and strengthen the new exciting world I'm working towards.

      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?
