Pre-op yesterday- 4 days and counting.



Recommended Posts

I have surgery in 4 days!!!! It is becoming so real to me now. I was scared before, but yesterday did ease my mind quite a bit.

HW:404.8

CW: 369.1

35.7 lbs down so far!

This weekend I plan on spending time with friends (who are more supportive than my family apparently), cleaning my house in preparation for surgery as I want to be as comfortable as I can be, and packing my hospital bag. I cannot wait!!! :D :D :D

Does anyone have any recommendations of must-haves for the hospital? I will be bringing CPAP, comfy clothes, heating pad, brushes and toothbrushes, toiletries... anything else?

@@TAJ718 I definitely was! I had my surgery on 10/31.. Was so nervous and then after was in a lot of pain. But now i feel great. Still trying to get Protein in which is a struggle.

@@birdie bird Thank you! it is tough though. it still is. I go for my 3 week post op in one week and I still have trouble with the liquid. It definitely isn't easy. I hope you figured it out though! have you had your surgery yet? If not, good luck!!

      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?
