Worried....... Stressed......



Recommended Posts

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had any health problems after surgery? I am waiting for insurance approval. And I have one friend that keeps putting bad thoughts, fear in my mind. I know she hasn't done her research but I keep getting kind of like cold feet. I'm so excited but now I'm worried. Help??

Easiest surgery I ever had and I've had a radical hysterectomy and a meniscus repair. Not only did I not have any complications, but my chronic urticaria & angioedema actually improved. I haven't been to the ER for IV benedryl once since surgery and I was ending up in the ER every 2 - 3 mths for my allergies.

Stop listening to someone who doesn't know.

I hate to be mean but I would stop talking to this friend if she can not be positive.

I'm in the same boat.... I just finished allow my requirements today. Now just waiting for approval. I have a friend like that too. From the very beginning she was always being very negative.. I had to drop her for awhile.

Google the statistics on complications with this procedure. 100's of times more likely to get injured driving to the hospital than having complications from the surgery!!!!

Absolutely no problems here. Smooth as ice. 30 days out and doing great. I had a totally positive mind-set and support system and that helped a lot I think. Do your research - spend time reading on this site - and make your own decision.

      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?
