JUST GOT SURGERY DATE!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All-

Just got surgery date of June 27th. I have to admit I am nervous about it. I am hoping everything will go OK and I won't be vomiting all over the place. I was at my doctor's office today and met two very nice patients. They both said they had pain free and vomit free experiences. That made me more comfortable and hopeful that I won't have a bad experience.

Anyone else out there that has a similar sleeve date as me? Should we count down the days together?

I was sleeved yesterday morning. In the recovery room after surgery, I was in pretty bad pain, but it didn't last long and it got exponentially better from there. Some people have more nausea than others, and I just happen to be one of those people, but it should be easily avoidable if you don't try to walk around and sip Water back-to-back or sip too much at a time. Also make sure to sip any meds they give you and you should be fine.

At this point, I'm pain-free! Even if I wasn't taking the hydrocodon prescribed to me, I don't think I would be in that much pain anyway, maybe just some discomfort. Overall, there are times of pain, but you feel 10x better each day after the surgery. Good luck!

P.S. bring mouthwash with you to the hospital, it's amazing for right after surgery.

      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?
