Banded 5th september



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

well i'm finally banded, had a bit of a rough time & had to be re-addmitted, for dehydration, and not keeping on top of my pain meds, anyway 4 days post op, and feeling much better, + 11lbs down already, know this is not about weight loss at the moment, and is a time for getting better, but thought i'd hop on the scales this morning anyway!!:o

wishing you all the very best.

Take care

Hey Toots2,

Hang in there, this forum isn awesome! So much so that I can't stop reading it. I bet I was here 6 hr straight yesterday and here I have already started again today. My band date isn't until Sept 28 and I start my pre op liguid Sept 14 but I have found invaluable information and tips just from reading this amazing board.

I have read where people have just breezed through their surgeries and some who have really had a rough time. You are definitely have a rough time right now but we will all pray that it will be over soon and each day will begin to see you feeling better and stronger and ready to lose those extra pounds and get healthy!

Keep reading and posting and let us all know how you are doing. I know I will esp keep reading and counting down until I too become a bandster!

Blessings,

Docsdeb

      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?
