Surgery tomorrow! Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

My second lap band surgery is tomorrow at 7AM! My doctor tried to place the band on 8/11 and couldn't because my liver was too fatty, but I've lost another 15.5 pounds since then and he is very pleased and sure there won't be a problem this time. I am a teeny bit nervous about it but I have done well on his diet and mostlly am just anxious and excited to get the band tomorrow

Anyone else getting their band tomorrow?

Me, me, me! Going in at 5am for a 7:20 surgery time. I'm so excited, but scared at the same time. just ready to get it done and start my new banded life.

Good luck to you!

Thanks Mimilou! Yes, my surgeon was really pleased. He made me feel good; he said: You've done so well on the preop diet. If you can do it, you will find living with the band a breeze. I'm so pleased to do this surgery for you! :smile2:

And hfalola: it's not bad at all! (since I kind of went through it once already!) We're both going to do great!

      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?
