Recommended Posts

The last week and a half haven't been too bad on the pre-op diet. I'm excited but at same time getting more scared each day. My thoughts are all over the place. Anyone else almost there?

I just had my surgery yesterday! I wasn't nervous/anxious until the day of. The first day of surgery I definitely felt out of it, but today I'm home and feeling better.:) just a little tired and my stomach incisions are a little tender.

You will do great! Good luck!

I totally understand! I had my surgery on November 11 and even though I previously had a lap band, I was nervous about this surgery.

I agree, I was sore and tired but not the overwhelming pain I was afraid of.

You will do fine, best wishes!

Diane

Yes, I was operated on Wednesday around noon and went home today at the same time! I try and walk as often as possible and sip Water as much as possible too!

I was surprised at how short the actual surgery part was (only 30-40 minutes). The prep and waiting is what took forever. They gave me something to help with nerves before going I to the OR which I guess is standard. When I woke up in recovery I did feel naseus, but that quickly went away with the meds.

Keep us updated how it goes! :)

      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?
