June 11th surgery date!



Recommended Posts

Anyone else from Houston, Texas with a similar surgery date? I'm excited, and a little terrified of the surgery part. How long did it take everyone to go back to work?? I had planned to go back day 7 post op. Is that too soon? My doc said as long as it's very light activity it should be fine.

I'm really excited. The excitement is quickly turning into fear though. I keep having dreams where I forget I am sleeved and eat something I shouldn't and then I wake up in a panic. I guess that's strange, or who knows, maybe it's a normal amount of anxiety. I'm worried I didn't take enough time off from work (only 7 days) too. All things I can't control at this point. Guess I'll just need to take it in strides. Reading the boards has helped a lot with calming the fears. How about you? Are you excited?

      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?
