Final Pre-op appointment was today Surgery Friday some questions



Recommended Posts

So I went today for my final pre-op appointment. Everything is looking good and down 16lbs from 2 weeks of Protein Shakes and healthy choice dinners. My surgeon didn't mention, and I forgot to ask, about the day before surgery. Is it supposed to be all liquids? Also, I was going to go out tomorrow night for dinner to Texas Roadhouse. Nothing really crazy, just the smallest steak they have and some veggies and mashed potatoes. Would that be acceptable. No bread, fries, nothing like that and not drinks of course. Any input is welcome.

First off congrats! I would call to find out just to be sure because every surgeon is different. I had no pre op diet but wasn't allowed to eat anything after midnight the day before my surgery.

My surgery was on a Friday and I went out to eat on that Wednesday for a meal. It just depends.

I have my last appointment on 1/28 and my surgery is 2/12. I was suppose to go to Texas Roadhouse on 1/29 but I canceled. I don't was any problems or to be tempted.

      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?
