Just got home left ama today about 12 days i actuallybdies and they had to shocknme and intabate me.. The damn drs had 4 bags of potassium running at once you would think they would have figured it out but instead they wanted to blame it on a medication ive been on since 2010 never had issues like the dizzy spells pasing out seizures ect until my surgery. So please go in and get ur levels checked on a regular basis im actually thinkiing about asking if they think it would bbe best to have mine reversed.

Reversed? If you're speaking about the sleeve or RNY those can't be reversed.

RNY can be reversed. It's one of the "pros" of choosing that surgery over sleeve, although it is almost never actually done.

To the OP: It's not really clear from your post what happened. Are you doing better now?

So you were hospitalized for a Vitamin deficiency? How far post-op are you?

AH! yes, that's right. Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet. Like you said, reversals aren't done much. But, sleeve is not reversible. My new buddy for life.

I had surgery a few years ago

You mentioned wanting to have your surgery reversed, which isn't actually an option for sleeve. But do you think that if your surgery were reversed you'd somehow do a better job of getting in your Vitamins and Protein? What are your barriers to getting in your Vitamins and Protein with your sleeve?

      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?
