More weight to lose pre op



Recommended Posts

Oh my gosh. I am pre op and my Dr. wants me to lose 15 more pounds. He originally wanted me to lose 10 and I lost 3. Geez, if It was that easy I would of done it already...

I'm in the same boat. They won't schedule my surgery until all the weight is lost. It's been very difficult for me. I've tried everything and I'm stuck at 4 pounds lost.

I bought Premier Protein shakes from Sam’s Club. I sipped one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I ate a sensible meal and that is how I lost my pre-op weight. It took a couple weeks but It was about 15 pounds in about three of weeks. I stopped looking at the scale also bc I would get discouraged and just want to quit.

Get a fitbit and start walking. Up your steps every time you can tolerate it. The more steps you get, the more calories you burn. Journal everything you put in your mouth.

      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?
