October 9 Surgery - need a buddy/mentor



Recommended Posts

Dear friends!

I'm looking for anyone who has gone through the surgery to see me through. I don't start the Preop until 2 weeks before that around the 24th.

I am paying for the surgery myself so I did not need to go through extensive therapy. I am afraid that I just don't know enough or will have enough of a support. Diet tips, what to expect, check ins and any other support you may give, I would be deeply indebted.

Thanks for any responses, really.

I'm scheduled for Oct 12! & Insurance Is paying for it. Does your surgeon have a Nut he recommends or is affiliated with his office? Of all the appointment s I had to do, the Nut is the one I'm sure I'll see again and again. The form of payment really should be irrelevant. the surgeon may have Nuts he deals with. It never hurts to ask.

(Lol I just read that and cracked myself up.)

      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.
