I am scheduled for surgery in 3 weeks, anyone used this team at INT Hospital lately? I haven't seen any posts on here recently, just looking for someone to share the good or bad! I'm getting a little nervous ;)

I did almost a year ago and my daughter is scheduled for Dec 13th

There's lots on Dr Ponce and all you have to do is use the search bar and his name. I have nothing but wonderful things to say and others do too.

Good luck and enjoy the sun when you're down there

Thanks! Did you use INT Hospital? Also I'm not sure about this "pre-op diet" thing, I see lots of people doing Clear Liquids for 2 weeks before surgery but I haven't received any information about that... I need to know if that is something I'm supposed to be doing since I'm only 3 weeks out!

Sorry I didn't get back to your question.

Trish will notify you when to start your pre-op of yogurt and clear liquids. Normally a week before

      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?
