Finally making myself the priority!



Recommended Posts

After many years not being in control of my weight, and putting care of myself last, I've made the decision to have VSG. I'm scheduled Nov 17 at Blossom bariatrics and am so excited..and nervous at the same time! Looking forward to getting answers and support on this community!

Congrats on getting your date. I got the news yesterday that I just got dumped back 14 days. So my surgery is 7 days after you. It will be the first time that I am thinner after Christmas. What are your pre op requirements ?

Oh no! Sorry you got bumped!
PreOp, I have to drink 2 shakes as Meal Replacement and 1 protein/leafy veg dinner for 2 weeks before surgery.

      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?
