Hello.

I am not new here. I want to start by asking you all to please forgive me for signing up for a new account. I have been sick a lot here lately and cannot for the life of me rememeber what my user name was before, but I have this one down and saved so I will not forget it.

I'd like to ask a question if I may.

I am going through the six month diet right now and am having my surgery in December from what I have been told.

In the pre-op diet, it has a list of things that it says I am not allowed to have, such as bread etc..

It also says that I have to keep it under 40 grams of carbs for each day.

So, seeing how I will not be on the two week pre-op and this is it, as the six months will end in December which is when I will be having the surgery, my question is ... could I not still have the breads etc... as long as I am really keeping up with how many carbs I have in a day and make sure that I keep it under 40?

Thanks,

Bleste

This is a question best left to your surgeon. Each doctor has their own requirements that really should be followed the way that they give them. Just give the doctor's office a call and ask. That way you will know for sure what they expect of you. Good luck!

      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?
