So Nervous! Feb. 15 date!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was given my surgery date the other day and it seems like things are moving very fast and I'm starting to get nervous.

I am 205lbs 5'3 and have a BMI of 36. I have moderate sleep apnea.

At my heaviest I was 216 and with diet and exercise I lost almost 65lbs. I maintained a 50lb loss for almost 2yrs but in June I was involved in a serious car accident and have since gained about 50lbs.

My concern is that I am taking drastic measures. I am afraid of dying and complications. I am afraid of never being able to enjoy eating again and I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat fruits and vegetables again.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

Good luck I am 9 days post, didn't have pre op diet and was worried sick, I was gonna escape on the morning of the surgery from fear :) I guess it's normal.

My first day was difficult and I was asleep most time but today I am so much better today and walking well and eating Soup, pudding, mash potatoes I even took a bite of cake and doing well.

I blend a banana with milk and drink my doc allows it. Guess it's just a matter of time and will start having better portions and eating my fruits

      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?
