Surgery on Monday 02/02/15!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new to this forum. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on monday the 2nd of February. I'm so excited! I got approval on a Monday and was scheduled just one week later. I wasn't expecting it to come so fast but they had a cancellation so I took it. I'm on my pre op diet, 4 days in and it's horrible! I'm really not hungry but my brain isn't doing well lol. I'm in a brain fog and this fatigue is awful. I can't hardly type but my brain won't let me sleep.

I've been working towards this surgery for 13 months now, finally!! I'm so close. I've been struggling with my weight since I had my first son. Since he was born I stayed big and can't seem to lose more than 20 lbs. I'm 5'2, 254 pounds as of Thursday. My goal ultimate goal is 140 but I'll be super happy if I can get back to 160. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right group or forum or whatever it's called. I think I can sleep better knowing I can look to this app for advice and support. :))

Great to hear. We can do this together. I am feeling okay, not the greatest but that can be expected after surgery. My biggest problem is the gas pain in my stomach. Other than that everything is good

      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?
