Looking for ideas



Recommended Posts

I'm 13 weeks post op and have have about everything that could go wrong go wrong. Last dilitation on my stricture was a real good one, put me down for a week. But it is open now but still can't get fluids down enough and food has been a painful joke. In the 13 weeks since surgery I'm guessing I've had a 100 grams of Protein maybe. I've lost 115 lbs and am weak. Any professional advice like should I have a feeding tube? Or something else. Disability don't pay my bills and need to get back to work! Thanks for any input.

I'm pre op so I don't have any advice for you. But I will pray for you. That sounds like torture. I can't even imagine how weak you must feel. I definitely would get in to see my dr. Please keep us informed.

Wow I think you're way beyond the advice that can come from an internet board. I hope you have medical professionals advising you heavily. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Well my surgeon does not seem concerned so this Tuesday I meet with an internist to start getting stuff right. Just had a doc that thought I was needing coddling all the time and was really arrogant towards it so let's hope this is it because I haven't eaten in almost two weeks and he's not concerned!

      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?
