Got my first appointment at the surgeon's office!



Recommended Posts

I'm having my first appointment at the bariatric hospital at the end of this month. It's going to be 4 hours; I'm going to talk to an insurance person, a psychologist, and a nutritionist. I don't know where it's going from there. I started my diet consultations with my primary care this January, they said I might need 6 months of them, but am not sure. I'll find out more at the appointment. I'm so excited!

I would think you would be feeling excited. It is something scary and thrilling at the same time. You are starting a journey to make changes in your life, remaking your past,into a bright future. It can bumpy or it can be smooth , hard to predict at this point. I can tell you that b at times it will seem intense. To me and I hope to you it is all worth it. [emoji38]

I’m in my 4th month of pre op and in June get to see the surgeon. Have to lose 20 pounds. Since 1/25/18 staring weight 257 and today after up and down weighed in at 237.4. Such a relief!! To days ago weighed in at 241 up a pond then yesterday walked 1 hour vacuumed for 25 min and kept calories at 650 and today down to 237.4
Thank God. I didn’t want to post that I was up a pound. Any one else going through this roller coaster of the scale?

      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?
