Less than 2 weeks till sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Good for you! I wish I had less than two weeks left. I am in the midst of all the medical clearances and they are overwhelming. I do see the surgeon this coming Monday so maybe that will give me a better sense. You must be getting nervous!

Yeah the constant flow of appointments every week on my day off is getting a bit old but it's all worth it. My doctor has been good about trying to get more than one in every week so that's been nice. As for the nerves definitely, but I just keep trying to focus on the results of it all. Honestly I have been struggling more with focusing on my diet since I scheduled the surgery. I keep having this feeling I need to live it up before I can't do it. I had to fast before my blood tests today and after no food for 12 hours my mind was racing with all kinds of bad stuff to eat. Lol ended up eating right but it was a tough decision.

Congrats! I have the same date:)

Well I got one more test to do then it's game on 2/25/14. Both excited and a little nervous for it all but can't wait to have it all done and start moving forward.

87formula, I can totally relate to the feeling of being out of control with my diet now that surgery is scheduled. Every time I have something that I enjoy, I tell my bf, I have to enjoy this while I still can. But then talk about how post op and how much healthier we will be eating. Initially I got excited and lost ten pounds a few weeks ago, then went totally off the wagon :( But thats the reason we need this surgery. We dont have that self control. Best of luck to you..

Thanks for the wishes Tiff and congrats to SandeeD for your surgery too. Hopefully we all have it easy and get to our goal weight in the time we are aiming for.

My doctor doesn't do the pre op diet, he just has me cutting back on stuff, and watching what I eat and working out. He said he thinks that works better so I am not weak during surgery.

      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?
