Vsg after laparoscopic hysterectomy



Recommended Posts

I just had an laproscopic hysterectomy at the end of March. I have scheduled my vsg to be done end of May...too soon?

as long as your surgeon knows then it is fine. I had a hysterectomy last August and my sleeve in February, but the delay was due to something else. I know someone who is having both done at the same time.

I am not sure which surgery was my favorite, they are both life changing in so many positive ways!

I was also told during my hysterectomy that I had alot of scar tissue. Do you think that will jeopardize a successful vsg?

I do not. because these things are in completely different areas. Because I have an ongoing lymph node issue in my abdomen my surgeon took a look at the lymph nodes and "vaginal stub" before he went on with the sleeve. maybe I had a slight amount more soreness from his look around, and it added a half hour or so to my surgery but was very worth the peace of mind because he felt everything looked great.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. Zipper cut incision. When I had vsg surgery couple mths ago dr. Said she had to remove a lot of scar tissue while doing the surgery. I have had no complications but my surgery lasted about 3 hours because of this.

      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?
