Should I be concerned? Incisions...



Recommended Posts

UPDATE: Made an appointment today and saw my surgeon's assistant for my incisions. I always thought they were sealed via a glue. Turns out they were dissolvable stitches. Which did not dissolve and apparently I'm a bit allergic to like I am to adhesives. So she numbed me up and debrided the bejesus out of my open wounds. I go back next week and hopefully see some major improvements. The only good news is that they were not infected, just irritated. Woot!

One has finally scanned over. The big one on the left side I still have covered, I shower and debride. The doc said it will take weeks. That it won’t look like much is happening then suddenly it will look closed up. I guess if I had to have a complication of sorts this would be the better one to have...

      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?
