One week before surgery!!



Recommended Posts

One week before my surgery (8/20) and I am a ball of nerves!! I have been fine up until I woke up this morning feeling like I was on the verge of an anxiety attack...smh lol. Now that I am done with all the insurance, pre op appointments, fmla/std filing, picking up meds, pre and post op grocery shopping, and start 7 day pre op diet tomorrow, it is finally starting to hit me that this is really happening. Like, I am having major surgery, with knifes cutting me and taking out part of my organ, and my life will never be the same (for the better!!!) Lol. I am still so very excited! Just a little nervous now that things have slowed down and I am in the final stretch to the next chapter of my life! Please keep me prayed up!!

Prayer on the way and congratulations! Make sure you have your lap bar down because you are in for one heck of a ride!!! I am almost a year out and still can not believe how well this thing has worked and how much more energy and stamina I have. I do believe you will come out on the other side thinking this was one of the best decisions of your life!

My surgery is tomorrow! I am sooooo utterly nervous! I know I will have to take a Xanax tonight in order to relax. I am also going to be freaking out and shaking tomorrow at the hospital. I promise to let you know how it goes! Just know that my fear is so bad that I feel like I am going to die. This place has really helped me with my nerves. Since your mentality is so negative, it is imperative to make sure to listen to positive support from others!! Good luck!! :)

      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?
