Surgery tomorrow morning!



Recommended Posts

Nerves are here with a heavy hand. Feeling excited and sure that I am making the right decision but of course have lots if worries. The what if something goes wrong during surgery? What if I don't lose weight?

I've taken today off work. I couldn't sleep last night and am just trying to take care of myself today. Any suggestions from those who had the day before jitters?

I'm nervous that even with surgery, I won't look much better. My day of surgery weight is about 435, I started the process at 476 in January. I'm 6'. Almost 30 yrs old. Anyone in a similar bracket?

Thanks everyone!

I started at 378 and 5'9" and when i finally hit my pre op diet i was 356. I am now 5 months post and weigh in at 263. It works! Must have to do what ur supposed to do and stay on task. Its ok to feel nervous and worried. Its surgery! I didnt really get nervous or worried. When they wheeled me down the hall i got a little fluttery but i think it was more from excitement about changing my life. Just keep ur head up and all will be great. I wish u the best of luck and hope to hear from u after surgery. Btw, welcome to the club!

      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?
