Finally! One step closer ~ any advice?



Recommended Posts

I just got word today that my insurance company approved my surgery! I guess my insurance company is notorious for denying so I'm super relived. Now I am waiting to hear from scheduling to find out when I will finally be going under the knife. It's been a long road getting here and I know there's more to come but I'm happy that I'm now closer to my goal. Now I need to prepare for the special pre-surgery diet. My doc requires a high Protein, low carb diet two weeks before had and liquid diet three days prior to surgery. Anyone have any advice about how I should prepare? Thank you!

Congrats Brandy25.. I wish I could give advice also but I have a thread going now because some surgeons don't require a preop diet. I know my nutritionist had advised I get use to Protein Drinks, Water, broth, and such but never a strict diet . maybe I'm speaking to soon. I have preop appt on the 7th for surgery on 18th and maybe I'll be told about the diet then. Its like my brain has a bajillion things going on since I scheduled my date.. Ugh !!

      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?
