Pre-Op Testing and worried



Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery date today for June 27th. I am really excited about this because this has been a two year fight for me. But I am the kind of person who over worries. I am just worried that I am going to go for these pre-op tests and they are going to find something wrong, that will delay my surgery even more. I know all the nerves are normal and everyone questions their decision, I just needed to vent.

Hi, I know how you feel. I had to go through a bunch of tests as well. My tests included, cardio stress tests, angioplasty, colonoscopy, and an endoscopy, and a few others. I had one test 4 days before my surgery. I was very nervous. But, it all turned out OK.

Hang in there. Things will work out for the best.

Thank you both for the encouragement. I always wondered why people were iffy about the surgery when this is what they wanted. Now I am in this position and I see why. But I am so looking forward to this so much, just have to get through all this silly stuff.

With my pre-op testing, they found out that I lacked vitamin-D as well as a stomach virus/bacteria. They put me on some antibiotics.

They kept my surgery date of 6/11 so all is good.

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?
