One n half days till surgery and.. I failed :(



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone x

my surgery is on 1 n half days, and I fell off the wagon so many times on my pre op, mostly not badly thankfully but once was, I’m on my feet all day running around and feel so faint, I should of booked these days off of work (I’m leaving this work place soon after surgery thank goodness!). But anyway now I’m so scared my liver will be too big, I’m not eating anything else until surgery.. but gah I’m so scared and so mad! My dietician said she’s never heard of that happening but people online have.. idk if my liver is currently big or anything not had a test that shows.. just.. any advice? I feel so numb and lost and scared that it’ll be too big

5’5” 316lbs (was 326lb before started pre op x)

Good luck. From my understanding, if you're liver is too big when you get in there, they'll still do the surgery except it'll be an open surgery instead of laparoscopic. But maybe you didn't do as bad as you thought? Good luck!

I bet it's not as bad as you think. I had to do liquids, but only for like 2 days before the surgery, and before that, I just ate low carb for a couple of weeks, and my surgeon complimented me on how my liver shrunk. So, don't fret. I think you'll be okay.

      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?
