3 Weeks to go : India here I come !!



Recommended Posts

Hello to all -

I have my surgery in three weeks in India ! I have to pay for it myself and decided to have it in India. I am excited about India and like my Dr alot. So......surgery and the Taj Mahal .... who could ask for better ?!

I am so freaked out by all the changes that I am going to have to make to my life - it's overwhelming. I have 200 lbs to lose, which I know is high for the lap-band procedure, but I really just need the tool. I have been told that I need permission to take care of myself. Anybody like that ?

I hear they are good in India. Do you have someone lined up here to do your fills? A lot of people going outside the US are having a LOT of problems finding someone who will do the fills and deal with any complications that may come up.

I was able to find someone! I actually found them through this website ! I looked into getting this procedure 2 years ago - but there was no one within 100 miles that did fills, and now there is someone less than 10 miles from me. :0)

      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?
