First day of the rest of my life



Recommended Posts

First day of the rest of my life.. booked my surgery date today and am filled with millions of questions. My docs been amazing explaining everything but still have so many non surgical questions.

I'm so ready for this new phase and excited but I feel this wierd sadness too. More scared of pre op diet than I am of surgery. I would appreciate any advise that will help me through this period.

Thanks in advance

I needed to start my preop diet 2 weeks before surgery. I started it extra early to get the hang of it, with no worries making mistakes. I'm glad I did, as I am more prepared for it. I am on day 2 official preop diet today!

It's funny .. when trying to get pregnant, there is a "two week wait". The time between ovulation and potential positive pregnancy test.

Now I am in a different two week wait!

Congrats on your taking the leap to a better life!

Thanks so much, my husband is also having the surgery (a month after I do) he too suggested the same thing you have said (an early start) and now I'm thinking this sounds like a better idea. We should start to make changes each day to prepare us for the pre op diet. I appreciate your response and I hope your journey gives you the happiness that we all deserve. Stay in touch 🤗

      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?
