I called the call center and the nurse there said go ahead and go to surgery and they will tell you, any one ever take aleve or any other anti inflammatory meds b4 surgery and was turned away... I've waited to long and feel if they turn me down i might just chicken out. and suggestions???

No suggestions. I'm not a doc so I don't know how critical it is. I thought it puts you at risk for excessive bleeding but not sure. If that's it I'm not sure how much is bad or how long the effects last, if any. Either they will or they won't. Definitely tell them. If they choose to reschedule it's because there is a real concern and it's for your own good. Best of luck to you!

I think it's most important post surgery. I was on aspirin until the day before surgery. Doc said it was ok to keep taking. But had to come off after.

Just my two cents. Double check and good luck

      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?
