Still don't have this thing figured out



Recommended Posts

Hi to all my April friends.

I hope everyone is doing well. We are 1/3 of the way into the month which means we have both pre-op and post-op friends now.

I started this page to give us our little special place. I've heard people cannot access it via the mobile apps which is a bummer. I also have only invited members who are having bypass. Why if we are all in the WLS thing together? I figure the VSG folks have VSG boards and groups. I also think the journey is different in many ways for both groups. We as RNY folks deal with Vitamin and absorption issues that the VSG folks don't. We also have the dumping issue which the VSG group does not have to deal with. So it just made sense to be an RNY group.

As many of you can tell I have no idea what I'm doing with regard to the admin of this group page. I have a pre-op sub forum that I can't change. It will have post-op items in there as well. I apologize if there is any confusion.

I wish everyone the best. Bravo for making this choice. Bravo for being strong enough to change your life for the better. Bravo for being part of our new little online circle. Bravo!

Amy

      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?
