Cancelled surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had so many fears just like that. It will be fine you're going through something many of us had. I used to drink a lot n thought they're going to get in there and my liver is going to be too enlarged... lol I'm 12 days post GBP and it all went well.

My doctor wasn't strict on the 2 week pre op diet. I still was supposed to get 800-1000 calories in with one of my meals being solid food. I did pretty good. Yesterday I had Soup for my Christmas dinner, but I did eat a peanut bar cookie thing, just 1. Now tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet and that's going to be a doozy but I only had to do that for 2 days. I'm just stressed and fearful about something going wrong. I've been waiting 2 years for this surgery. I just want everything to go well. My anxiety is just horrible these last couple of days.

Has anyone ever come out of surgery and been told they couldn't do the operation? It's one of my biggest fears and with surgery happening this Thursday, I'm so nervous.

Happened to me. After 3 of the 6 incisions, my 1st VSG attempt was aborted. I still had too much abdominal weight, which caused concerns and therefore aborted. I had successful VSG surgery 8 months later.

No but my surgeon said that if I had,requested anything except vsg he would've closed it up and canceled.

      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?
