Got a date 2/23, can't wait



Recommended Posts

Finishing my 18 requires health classes, got through almost all my dr visits, need psych and Endoscopy, but getting excited. My dr wants 3 weeks liver shrink, I'll get details in Jan on diet. But with just the classes so far, I'm 15 lbs down.

Nervous about after and hoping my post op vision for myself is realistic. Started at 368, down to 353, goal is somewhere about 200.

What I am most looking forward to is being able to be active and move again. I want to do Spartan runs and Ragnar runs, I hope that is realistic. Here's to hope!

2/23 seems so far away, and I guess I'm focusing on the food right now, thinking things like "this will be my last big thanksgiving, or last big birthday dinner." I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and if I could move my date to tomorrow I would. I hope these 3 months fly by. Very excited to see what's on the other end of this journey.

They will zoom by. I started this process 4/27 of this year and will be having gastric bypass on 12/5 I'm on day 6 of my two week pre op diet now. I'm sure you will reach all of your goals. Learn all you can. Best wishes.

      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?
