Last minute pre surgery worries?



Recommended Posts

Alas as I sit here and wait for my "call up" to active duty in the BARIATRIC WARS I have time to listen and ponder many things.One hmnn thing: the little last minute worries we come up with.
One lady was concerned they would be removing her patient gown in the operating room,not for modesty sake, although that still
might have some bearing, she was concerned she would be cold and her surgery would be postponed because of goosebumps.
Another was concerned she might start talking about past boyfriends or confess petty thievery while semi-awake.
Although I am not overly thrilled that 6-10 more people in Columbus will know whether I am a natural redhead or not, the fact they are going to make 5-7 holes in my tummy like a. demented woodpecker on speed, I'll even put up will that to have my surgery done.
Do you have any silly or irrational fears about your surgery? it's okay, you're among friends here

WOW!! I thought I was the only one that would ever worry about bringing up past boyfriends while loopy!! haha! I can't even begin to wonder why that even crossed my mind but sure enough it did!! Plus I don't wanna be gassy in front of current sweetheart! No way on that one!!

I am also terrified that I will come back to work and have stomach issues (dumping) and won't make it to the bathroom on time!! I will be terrified to even try to eat anything while I am there for fear of it!

I keep having this recurring feeling that WLS is going to happen and then when I wake up my surgeon tells me that I have something anatomically wrong with my stomach and that I despite having my sleeve, I will not lose any weight. [emoji20]

      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.
