Preparing for surgery



Recommended Posts

My surgeon submitted all paperwork to insurance today, and scheduled surgery for July 19!! Fingers crossed it gets approved.

they did give me a list of Vitamins to buy and Protein shakes/powders but I want to know what other drinks/foods I should rack up on prior to surgery so that I can have everything at home and make it easier for my husband (since he will be taking care of our 2y/o son as well).

I'm stocking up on Decaf tea, sugar free Jello, and broth for the week after surgery until I can have soft food. My surgery is 6/26 and I just had my pre-op class. They said a week of that during the liquid stage.

Best wishes ! My surgery is June 28th.

Good luck on surgery!!! I'm waiting for approval but if it's approved I'll be set for 7/19 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Are you a coffee drinker? Maybe decaf too. I've gotten chicken broths, veggie broths and beef as well.

      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?
