Recommended Posts

Im kinda scared. I havent eaten in 5 days or i get sick. Even on yogurt. I have called the doc and tomorrow Im having an EGD i think its called. Its where they scope you and open up your stomach with a balloon. I guess i have a stoma stenosis. I am 5 weeks out. I am just scared it is going to hurt. Anyone else have this done? Apparently i will be in twilight sleep for it. I wish they would just knock me out. I mean im losing a pound or two a day...but this is crazy. 49 pounds down.

yes. It was a breeze - very easy fix. I didn't feel a thing and felt a million times better after the procedure. Night and day. I could eat again with no problem!!

It really was an easy procedure. So happy to finally be eating again. But i do miss the scale dropping fast. Now my metabolism is horrible until it gets used to food again. I know. It will all be okay.

I had to have mine re-dilated as well - about 4 weeks after the first time (although I've heard of other people having to go back after only a week or two). Fortunately, this is an early complication, so it should stop soon.

      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?
