Surgery is tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is tomorrow and I'm sooo anxious! Today I can't have any solids.. Only sugar free liquids. I'm going to try to sleep through it if I get hungry. I refuse to mess this up!

A couple of nights ago I watched the gastric sleeve being done on YouTube and honestly, it didn't bother me much at all. Except the long tube they put down your throat.

I'm really excited right now but I'm sure tomorrow will be a whole new story lol.

I'm still waiting for the hospital to call me and tell me what time to be at the hospital!

Another update coming tomorrow morning!

yungshi,

Good luck tomorrow.

Hope everything goes well for you. When they clear you for liquids, sip, sip, sip. You'll be surprised how difficult it is to drink after surgery and dehydration is your primary concern after surgery. Walk as much as you can.

Give your body the time it needs to heal. Takes a good 4 weeks for the sleeve to heal.

Blessings,

Kathleen

      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?
