Finally had surgery!



Recommended Posts

Had surgery Dec 31st and I was in some pain but today woke up with less pain been walking a lot and drinking Water. The surgeon said if I can handle drinking the shakes that I might be able to go home today fingers crossed. Any advice out there? What Vitamins to take? How's the shakes after surgery??

Marie,

Did your doctor reccomend any Vitamins? They told be to take opurity Vitamin and mineral, which I can buy at hospital or online. And 2 hours after

that take Citracal, which is in the drugstores. Opurity also seals a Calcium supplement. Did you go home today? Hope so, the hospital is so uncomfortable.

I was given a list of aproved shakes and Vitamins at my first visit to the Bariatric clinic. I take Celebrate Vitamins. I ordered a sample package of them and decided on my flavors pre-op. I chose this brand due to price and the ease of scheduling them through my day.

      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.
