New user - Getting banded August 26th



Recommended Posts

After many administrative hassles, I'm finally approved by my Insurance company and have scheduled my procedure for Tuesday August 26.

I haven't received any preop diet instructions, but I can see that personal experiences on this topic cover the whole spectrum.

Welcome BDS! I am new bandster as well. I was banded 07/03 in Chicago and have lost 14 pounds already.

My pre op diet was 14 days, full liquids. Slim fast shakes, sugar free kool aid, sugar free popsicles, Tomato Soup, chicken broth, etc...

That is what my doctor instructed for me, but I know that every doc is different. You might want to call your surgeon's office and find out what he normally does. I wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice, I can only share my experience with you.

Hope that helps and welcome to LBT!

      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?
