I have known my surgery date for a few weeks now but just found this group. I did find a couple of other ladies who have the same surgery date as me and we have been emailing each other a few times a week.

Any additional support is welcome and appreciated! I am having the bypass surgery, as are the others who I'm emailing with.

My wls class is on wed Dec 3rd. I'm sure we will discuss Vitamins and Protein Shakes, also the requirements for the liquid diet. I have my vitamins ordered and also have my Protein shakes. I haven't bought much else because I don't know the specific requirements being made by my doctor.

I feel ready for the surgery- definitely excited and looking forward to the changes that are ahead.

I just had my class Dec 1 and we discussed Vitamin intake and the different phases of the diet post op. I also have my Vitamins and shakes. My dietitian said a lot of times a persons taste changes after surgery and you don't always like the same shake flavors or brand of shakes

      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?
