Initial appointment scheduled



Recommended Posts

Passed insurance coverage check. My Initial appointment is scheduled January 7. I already filled out Family, Personal Health and Surgical History through online app. I have been practicing Water sipping, chewing bites many times and mindful eating. I know. Surgery is at least 3 months. But trying to develop new habits so won't have to focus on those the first weeks after surgery.

Congratulations, good idea to be practicing and making changes where you can to give yourself the best opportunity to suceed and I am sure those 3+ months will fly by :)

3 months will go really quick. I had to wait six months and that went quick believe it or not. It's great you are practicing chewing etc. I still don't chew right and eat too fast two months post op!

It was soooooo hard to retrain myself to eat smaller bites and to eat more slowly. Kudus to you for working on that now. It really will help later on. I was 63 when I had my surgery and I think age gives a perspective, as by that time, we are experiencing the actual effects of obesity on our bodies. You are going to have a whole new life! Congrats.

      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?
