Tentative surgery date



Recommended Posts

My surgery is tentatively scheduled for the 8th of July. I'm starting to get a little nervous!!

:tt2: I had the psych evaluation on 4/8/08

:drool: Dieticians 1st visit 4/10

:sleep: sleep study 4/12 & 4/19

Monthly dr. appts.

:confused_smile: Dieticians 2nd visit of 7/7/08

:scared2: Surgery on 7/8/08

Next week I am to begin the pre-op liquid diet, and we are going to be in Vegas!

What a bummer that will be, but I intend to follow drs. orders!

Any advice on calming the jitters?

Just take it one day at a time, Cinda. There were times on the pre-diet that I thought I'd go crazy, but I made it.......and you will too. Just by saying that you'll stick to the diet helps you that much more (as opposed to having a dialog with yourself saying "well, I'll try to stick to my diet, but..."). As for the jitters, it's a pretty easy surgery and you'll do fine (You'll do finer by following the doc's orders). Good luck! You can do it!

      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?
