May or June Surgery date:



Recommended Posts

I’m new to all this. Going to Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso. They are so nice. I’m just curious how I will feel after surgery. We have a vacation planned for July 15th so I hope my surgery is done in May. I plan on going back to work in 2-3 days after surgery. I have a desk job that doesn’t require lifting. Anyone able to return back to work this soon?

My surgery will also be either end of May or beginning of June. I had no idea that going back before 2 weeks would even be an option! I also have a desk job and just started a month ago. I was dreading missing 2 weeks.

Scheduling mine late May or June. Good luck everyone! I work from home but planning to take the week of surgery off. Hoping I’ll be mentally able to work by day 8 post op.

My. Dr says to take 2 weeks off, and does not want me lifting more than 30 lbs. I help run a small family business. I was doing paperwork when I got home.... No choice really.

Be aware, it is hard to maintain the post-op liquid diet. You need to be sipping liquid all day, to get your h2o in. Work can easily distract you.

Also, you will have incision area pain for at least several days after the surgery. I am 4 days past coming home, and it hurts a lot to get in/out of a bed and I've been sleeping in a recliner.

Hello! I am (hopefully) going to be set up for surgery the same time! I would love to go back to work after a few days, but I need to take a realistic approach. Even if we are able to walk, it’s still major abdominal surgery that will leave you in pain and tired. I don’t think2-3 days is going to be feasible but maybe 1 week? I figure my surgery will be on a Monday, so it gives me the entire week plus a weekend to recover. Here’s to hoping because my boss might cry if I request 2 weeks haha.

I'm hoping for late May-early June as well. I wanted the kiddos out of school so I had extra hands to help with the baby.

Looking at a late May early June date depending on which day my last nutrition appointment falls on. I currently take care of my mom so coming home afterwards is going to be a challenge. Best wishes to everyone!

No but I have kinfolk in Sepulpa and around Tulsa and I always thought Owasso had such a pretty sound to it. There was a,movie oh about the 60s or so with Pat Boone and Buddy Hackett. Buddy's character was supposed to be Chickasaw Indian with a pet bird named Owasso, stuck n in the back,of my mind until I saw your post. Don't remember if it was a chicken or seagull, I think,maybe chicken.[emoji215]

      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?
