Recommended Posts

I have made the decision to take the plunge as recommended by my internist. I will have my initial consultation in January and my insurance company thinks I may be able to have it sooner than I thought as I have been trying different things. I downloaded this app because I thought it may give me courage but after reading some of the problems I am feeling doubtful. I am 56 with type II diabetes which is under control and high BP . I am 5 FT 10 inches and weigh around 330 lbs. I have questions and am looking for guidance. Is anyone out there willing to assist?

Hi! I do not live in Oxford any longer but I did for a few years while I attended Ole Miss. I am now living in Jackson. I just turned 24 and was sleeved on December 17 in Tupelo. I also had type 2 diabetes..I say had because I got to leave the hospital without my diabetes meds. I was really nervous about having the sleeve done but it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The anxiety beforehand and the gas pains are the worst parts. I can already tell a HUGE difference in my appearance in my short 2 weeks since surgery. This surgery has been such a blessing already! If you have any questions that I can help you with just let me know :)

      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?
