4 days till surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Kathy and I am from Garden City Michigan and I am getting my lap band in 4 days. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I am having the procedure done at St. Mary's Mercy by Dr. Zeni. Monday I start my liquid diet (2 full days prior to surgery).

Hi Kathy! I was just banded on the 16th. I too was very nervous and excited at the same time. The surgery was a piece of cake and now I am just excited and no longer nervous!! Good luck to you. I'm sure everything will go great!

I also was nervous a couple of days before the surgery and even started doubting about what I was about to do to myself.

I'm just really starting on this journey only being 3-1/2 weeks post-op, but I am SO GLAD that I did this!

Good luck to you - each day just gets better and better!!

I am feeling exactly the same as you did, DOUBTING my choice. Thanks for the kind words and it looks like you are doing GREAT so far. I hope I will do well with this. I think I need to stop reading the people who have had bad things happen with this surgery and focus on the positive.

      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?
