One week down! Off to see surgeon today



Recommended Posts

So today is one week post op, knock on wood things have gone remarkably well in my opinion, except for some earyl gas pain I feel great. No problem with liquids or Protein goals. So far have lost 33lbs (24lbs pre-op liquid and 9lbs this week) super psyched.

Question? My surgeon goes straight to Puree phase, anyone else have this? It seems everyone else here has some sort of liquid phase. It scares me a little. Trying to be careful to not overdue it.

Thanks All, Be well

Every surgeon has their own pre and post-op plans. If yours has you on purees right away and you feel fine, then I don't think there is anything to worry about. As you move through the next phases, just make sure you are still feeling good and be prepared to go a little slower than your surgeon recommends if necessary.

Sounds like you are doing great! Thanks for posting. It is nice to hear this being in pre op myself :).

      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?
