Hello everyone, I am new here and still pre-op.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I'm so happy to have found a sleeve forum.

I'm still pre-op, don't have a date yet but just found out my insurance approved the procedure.

So should be very soon.

I've been a nurse for 30 years in a busy hospital and unfortunately due to my crazy busy

career never took the time to take care of myself. :(

Now that I'm pretty much disabled I have no choice but to focus on getting my life back.

So I'm on this journey beginning with the sleeve.

Hopefully I can soon say good bye to the 10 plus meds I take daily.

I'm like a chemistry experiment. LOL.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to hanging out with you guys and gals and learning alot.

Thanks for having me. :)

Christine

Thanks. I'm psyched.

Nervous but psyched.

I have so much still to do but eager to get on the surgical schedule.

I think I have made a good choice of surgeon so at least I feel at ease with that.

Been trying the Protein drinks.

There are soooooo many to choose from its tough to decide.

Also trying to get used to herbal tea instead of my nightly glass of wine.

Oh how I will miss my wine. LOL

      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?
