Scheduled Panniculectomy



Recommended Posts

Wow! It's been a big day and a long time since I've updated here- but I still read posts weekly. I'm scheduled for panniculectomy in April.

I was planning on reviewing options next year but I've had some serious problems with my hip and leg that have made it necessary to address right now. Went in for consult and scheduling today. I have a lot to do in the next few weeks and want to read up here so that I can be prepared.

Hope everyone has been doing well! :)

Yes! I'm excited, and nervous! Excited to get it over with before summer and hopeful the mobility issues will improve and a flatter tummy sure will be a welcomed improvement too! I'm looking over pre op instructions and scheduling lab work- trying to look over everyone's posts regarding surgery for pre and post surgery tips. Everyone here was so helpful when I was preparing to have VSG and I felt very prepared after reading and sharing in the months before I had surgery. Hoping this surgery goes as smoothly and I just want to be as prepared as possible. :)

      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?
