January 30th Surgery



Recommended Posts

It has been a long road. After 2 1/2 weeks POST OP I started full liquid diet. Then came the Left shoulder pain and fever up to 103. I was back in the hospital with a small encapsulated Leak. 5 days in the hospital and home. Healing slowly. I was NPO for over 2 weeks on home TPN with a PICC line. After one week of a clear diet and one week of full liquids, Now today 7 weeks post op I am on a soft diet. Tried fish. Yuck! Not sure what I want and worried what might be a problem. Anyone Have any favorites that go down well?

Re-fried Beans with queso from my favorite mexican restaurant lasted me days and went down well! I also ate a lot of salmon. I've never liked fish but I needed the Protein so I searched and searched and found a recipe I liked. Also tuna salad!

I'm glad you're finally getting into the groove of things after a complication like that!

      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.
