Few Rants & Concerns ....



Recommended Posts

So today (10/23) I am going back to college. I've been out for a week and I go back to classes Monday. I'll admit MWF are my long days beginning at 8am until 6pm, I'm a little nervous about being warn out, sitting for too long, blood clots and the normal things you tend to worry about.... Tuesday's and Thursday are my short days so I am not to worried about keeping up. Thursday I also have a 3 hour night class so I'm especially nervous about sitting all those hours. I'm also nervous about the different reactions and comments I'll be getting from people ... I have an apartment with 3 other people and one of them is my good friend so she already knows about the whole Surgery and things... the other two girls are more or less might be problematic. One girl completely has the fridge taken over and now with my new dietary needs some of her food is going to have to go.... I'm really worried about going back.... does anyone think it's too soon for me to return??? I feel like I didn't have enough time to get back on my feet.....

It might be too early to go back.

I recommend you talk to someone in your disability services/dean of Students office or similar about possible accommodations: whether it is needing extra time out of class, or something else.

One thing I found challenging soon after surgery was mental focus/fuzziness. You may experience some of that which could impact your school work.

Sounds like a plan. I will surely email her in the morning, as well as the dean of students. We have a 3 day policy before your financial aid comes into play

      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?
