My bag is packed! Surgery in the AM



Recommended Posts

Well in 9 hours or so I’ll be going into surgery! We are planning on a vsg by my surgeon and I have worked out a plan for a mini bypass if I have too much scar tissue from a slipped lap band 4 years ago. Honestly I can deal with either and just want to wake up and get well a soon as possible to get back to my kids.

Best wishes to anyone else having surgery this week.

      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?
