Surgery went really well but pretty sore



Recommended Posts

Hey my fellow sleevers and friends. My surgery went extremely well according to my expectations. My surgeon said he removed 49 inches of stomach from me. Said it was size of a football before surgery and after it was the size of a large banana. Very please with how procedure went. Said I could easily get down to 245-250. I'm 397 post surgery. That would be awesome

I'll post pics later

Heck yes.

Not only did you beat my Bulldogs, but you've had a great sleeve experience.

You are on a role.

I'm shooting for that same 245-250 range, too.

Thank you all. I thought I would lose some weight from what he took out but actually gained 6.7 pound due to all the gas he blew in me and from being swollen

      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?
