August Sleevers, Confirmed Date?



Recommended Posts

I got my date!!! August 30th. Start my liquid diet on August 16th.

Any tips on how to make the best of the liquid diet, how to best prepare for the hospital, etc?

I will have a two night hospital stay. I'm so nervous. I'm dreading loose skin and leary of what my future holds.

My husband and I are separated and we have two kids who live with me at home. Any tips for my nerves? Lol.

I am on day 11 of my liquid diet. The first week was a breeze but the past 2 days have been tough. I feel like I hit a wall.... no energy, could sleep all day. My surgery is monday. Every time I stand up or bend over, I get light headed. I made some scrabbled egg whites and a handfull of turkey yesterday. I am on vacation in a house full of people eating burgers, hot dogs, wings, chips, beer. Probably worse case scenario. Im gonna get through it ok. Best advise is keep the liquids flowing. If you go hours without intake, you get that starving feeling that is hard to catch up with on just liquids. Good luck!

It looks like we have very similar stats. I am having surgery on August 24th. I am currently in the process of waiting on approval from my insurance. My Surgeon's office submitted everything to the insurance exactly two weeks ago tomorrow and still no answer. Its making me absolutely crazy. I start my pre op diet on Thursday. I am hoping at least by then to have an answer.

What all can you have on the liquid preop diet? I am doing band to revision and still waiting to hear from insurance. But is it Clear Liquids? Any liquids?

      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?
