2 days away from Surgery



Recommended Posts

Wow I never thought this day would be here! Today I leave to have my sleeve surgery. When I first started this process I was so scared and nervous however; now I am excited! I am on my 7th day of my liquid diet. While on the liquid diet Monday-Friday was not hard at all however this weekend was hard. I wanted nothing more than to snack, and eat food. Man I miss food!! I am proud to say since I have been on the liquid diet I have lost 12lbs. Losing the weight on the liquid diet has motivated me so much and has taken away my fear of having the sleeve surgery. I am leaving tonight, and will fly out on Tuesday and have surgery on Wednesday. I am all packed and ready to go. I guess as ready as I'll ever be.

I am so ready for this new life! I want put adventure in my life! There are so many things I want to do once I am all healed up; I can't wait!

Please keep me, my doctor, and his staff in your prayers.

Thanks for listening!!

I wish you great success. I remember the time just before my surgery. I was very afraid. Now I am no longer afraid of surgery. Weight-loss surgery was one of the best things I did for myself in my entire life.

      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?
