Nervous, Surgery Pushed up … to TOMORROW!



Recommended Posts

So my orignal surgery date was 11/24 and I received a called this morning and was asked if I would mind coming in tomorrow instead. I said … well no I wouldn’t mind. After all the rings of fire I went through to get the date I had, this was really a welcomed surprise, but now … I am really nervous. I had started my 2 week high Protein diet yesterday and now went immediately into my Clear liquids diet today. Any words of wisdom/advice before my big day? :)

Just have your ducks in a row... order or buy whatever Protein shakes and Vitamins you're going to need, + incidentals like sugar free flavorings, PB2 and or malted milk powder (for chocolate Protein shakes).

I also suggest you ask your doctor to write orders to get your pain meds put into the IV, so you don't have nurses handing you a very large pill.

Also, tell your doctor that you want the gas removed so you don't have pain afterwards.

      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?
