We spent 12 hours yesterday in appointments, but now they are all done. The phyc evaluation said that my dear hubby is stable. (little does she know..) and we met with the dietian, and phys. therapist and support group. We go next week to meet the surgeon and get a surgery date. I thought it was really odd that no one did any blood work. We are tired today, but almost there. Yeah!!

Hi there...You will get your bld work done at the Pre-op Testing date. You will also probably do a chest X-ray (if you had one done in the past 6 months bring them the film)

Good Luck

You will most likely get a blood test, chest x-ray and did you mention an EKG. They have to have it all. Can't go into surgery without knowing everything about our bodies. That is a good thing. Good luck to you. My tests are coming up and the pre-surgical clearance from my MD and then to the dietitian again(this will be the fourth time) and then to the surgeon 8 days before for a good look over.

Good luck

      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?
