Just got my date set!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,
So my surgery date has just been set for May 5, 2014 for my gastric bypass surgery. So being a month and a half out is there any advice or suggestions that anyone has? What did you find most useful at the hospital? What are the most essential things to have at home for when you get back home? Anything at all would be appreciated!!! I am trying to keep myself busy and I am definitely a planner so I want to have everything set up!!
Oh and what brands and flavors of whey Protein isolate did everyone try and like, it's kind of overwhelming and I can't find very many that taste very good(I cant have the coffee ones that have actual caffeine:()?

Thanks for your help!!!

      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.
