My Bypass Adventure



Recommended Posts

Hello to all!

4 years ago I had lap band. In the first 13 months I lost 125 pounds then it slipped! Doctor replaced it then it slipped again, got it replaced again!!! Then infection accrued around port so he went in cleaned infection out and was going to replace my band! He slipped and punctured stomach and I was in hospital for 9 days.

My next option was bypass but my insurance rejected They stated "only one weight loss surgery in a life time". Well then I lost my job and health care.

I finally got health care and started all over again. I'm scheduled for Jan 23, 2014 and so excited. I can not wait!

      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?
