Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

I was supposed to be sleeved on last monday the 18. It was cancelled so I have a NSV to NOT have indulged in any food because of my emotional train wreck I had when I learned I had to wait ... 5 more weeks! 5!!!!

Anyways my only instruction is: eat healthy, avoid sugar / fat.

So really I am at a loss. But I will be careful still I feel like I am let loose without clear instruction.

I know how to eat well and whatever but still. I wish they can some example or whatever to help when they have such a situation.

Technical problem at one of their hospital, the surgeon office I go to have 3 places he can operate.

I seriously don't know what I will do. At least with the long liquid diet I am hardly hungry.

It takes me over an hour per meal I hope it will stay this way until surgery and that I don't get tempted with fat and sugar. I will focus on Protein but I feel abandoned by all of this.

Just stay focused. If there is a bariatric support group, go to it. And don't hesitate to reach out to your surgeon's office and tell them that you feel abandoned and ask for more specific advice and guidelines. Good luck. You've got this!

      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?
