Band/Plication Revision to Bypass at 61



Recommended Posts

Patience. The 2-week pre-surgery diet differs for everyone as to whether you're allowed some solids along with Protein Shakes or just Protein shakes. I was allowed some solids (lean Proteins, veggies, and fruit)nd, and I only had to do the last 2-days before surgery with only protein shakes. However, this said, I've read that it's just the first week on Liquid Protein that's hard -- the 2nd week is a lot easier. So, hang in there and whatever you do, don't cheat. Your surgeon wants you on liquids for a reason and you owe it to the person who will hold your life in their hands to do what they ask of you. After surgery it's easier, because you won't be hungry and it's hard to get everything in that they want you to. I'm now on mushies, and frankly, aside from head hunger, my appetite just isn't there. You will get through the pre-op part -- we all do one way or another. If you need support, let me know -- I'm right with you. You won't be sorry you're doing this. Hang in there.

      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.
