Recommended Posts

When we first got here they weighed us in the lobby area then sent us to our room. Which looks like a suit with couches flat screen etc..Had EKG, labs, IV places and are getting IV fluids.

We have been napping on and off because they gave us klonipin and lorazapam by mouth when we got here! I'm very relaxed lol.

My mom is going back first at noon then I will go.

This entire experience so far has been like a vacation, everyone is very accommodating!

The only bad thing this far I can think of is dry mouth. I woke up with dry mouth knowing I could not drink lol made it worse. My next drink of liquids will be post sleeve!! I can't wait!

I was DYING of thirst and they told me I could swish Water in my mouth and spit it back out. But I was too afraid I'd accidentally swallow it, so I didn't try.

      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?
