Just got my Bypass and recovering. :)



Recommended Posts

Hello and I love this forum. I received my Bypass Jan 13th and I'm finally feeling a bit better and functional.

Obesity runs in my family and has been the silent killer of many loved ones. I didn't want to be another victim and after every diet fad, attempt and fighting a yoyo weight all my life, I made the final change!

I've never even heard of this procedure until my partner discussed with me the Gastric Sleeve. She too was in the same boat as I and we decided to do this together.

She's 6 weeks ahead of me but we have a great support system. :)

I've already been baffled in my recovery but with an outreach question the ladies here have been most helpful!

Thank you and Hello!

      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?
