I have a surgery date - May 20!



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I've been a lurker here, reading your posts while going through all the prep steps required by insurance. Just got the letter of approval and I can't believe surgery is later this month. I'm so, so, so ready after all this waiting. Felt like it was finally time to post something.

Anyone else with a late May date?

Looking forward to journeying with you!

Congratulations on your date! My surgery is May 19th. This is my fourth week on a strict pre-op diet. So far I've lost 22.5 pounds. I'm glad you've joined us.

Where did the time go? I just had my surgical preop training, and my last preop dietary appt. today. My surgery is on the 20th, too. Next week Wednesday!!! I'm so excited. It's been a long journey already, just to get to this point.

Keep in touch ... lots of May 20th people it seems.

Congrats on getting your date. I'm right there with you too. My date is the 19th. My official pre op diet starts tomorrow. I've been trying to start early with varying levels of success. Tomorrow no more fooling around! Looking forward to keeping up with your journey along with the rest of the May club. ????

      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?
