December 2014 in Colorado



Recommended Posts

Hello! I am scheduled December 15 for sleeve surgery and I can't wait! Anyone else in Colorado have a December date? Anyone with Kaiser? Would love to hear from you and keep up with each other on this journey! I started thinking about bypass surgery over a year ago, and was approved last fall...it took me until this past summer to actually "begin" the journey. I was afraid of surgery and afraid of all that would entail (with my entrails, haha). I finally got over the mental hurdle and planned my 6 week classes, only to miss 2 of them and have to start over. I started another 6 week class, and then realized I would miss the last class! My wonderful instructor, Janelle, promised I could go to another last class in order to finish and be ready for surgery before the end of the year. So...here I am...chomping (not on my 2 week pre-op diet yet, haha) and ready to go.

      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?
