Before I get my surgery, I would really love to know...



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am really excited to finally finish all these appointments, and excited to finally meet my surgeon. Now these questions may have or may have not appeared on this forum. You see I am a musician, well vocalist to an up and coming heavy metal band. Now, for those of you who know know that us vocalists have to use our diaphragm, and it takes up some energy to be either singing on stage or while recording vocal tracks. I wanted to know how long does it take after surgery for one to go back to singing? Are there any techniques that one should do to fasten up the pace? and will I be losing a lot of energy to the point where I'll feel weak on stage? Please I hope someone can answer this because I am really excited to get it done, but my family, my closest friends, and my band mates are asking me if there will be changes with my vocal ranges? if there will be a big noteable change?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I cannot carry a tune in a bucket. I hope someone can respond! I just wanted to say welcome!

      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?
