Having surgery on 28th of December



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery on the 28th and was wondering how long I would be off worked and how long I would be in the hospital. My question never got answered by the Dr. he didn't know if I could have surgery because of my heart.

Thanks

Me too!

I was told about two to three weeks before any light work. But it really depends on your body and its recovering ability I'm sure.

I'm praying your surgery is great and recovery will be fast...

i had the sleeve, and i was in hospital for 2 days. dr. protocal. I had surgery on Thursday AM and went to work on Monday.. but i had no issues since waking up from surgery. Everybody is different. Also your job requirements could be different than mine which may have you out longer depending if you are on your feet, if you have to lift stuff. I have a desk job and was fine to go back to work.

      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?
