Surgery will be August 15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for surgery August 15. I am very excited but also a bit jittery. Planning to be stoic about all this. I am looking forward to getting this extra weight off me.

My doctor is John Debarros in Phoenix/Tempe Arizona. He specializes in both types of weight loss surgery.

I am scheduled for August 15th, too! Just 2 days away. Like you, I am a little nervous.....I guess it is normal to question some things....like

will it work? what if I don't loose the weight? will I be hungry (especially the first 2 weeks after surgery)?

Good luck...and let's keep in touch with our progress

Hi Patrick, Good to hear from you. I, too, am afraid I will be the one who mysteriously doesn't lose weight. Oh, but that isn't realistic. I will be thinking of you, well maybe, before the slip the happy juice into my veins.

It's the beginning of a new way of life for us. healthier and slimmer. Good luck to you. Keep in touch.

I have been told that I will be uncomfortable very uncomfortable the day after surgery. So tell your friends to lay low that day.

Bryn

      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.
