Anyone Being Banded on 10/16



Recommended Posts

Hi fellow birthday people....a few hours & we all go to the hospital. I'm in the Detroit area...Dr Keith Marshall & Dr Carl Pesta...I can't wait, but could have left the bowel prep.

Oh my aching tummy...:D But...a small price to pay for better health. See you all after we are new bandsters!

Good luck!

Just thought I would see how everyone is doing. I came home this morning after the swallow test and am doing really well. Walking a lot and drinking my broth every hour. I hope that all of y'all are having it as easy as I am. Post when you can!:smile:

Lori Ann,

Glad to hear you are feeling ok!

Hello other 16ths! I'm doing well; not sure how I managed it but I don't have bad gas. They had me up fairly early. My parents went home to sleep and a gf stayed with me. She's my triathalon friend so she was pushing me to go farther down the hall! I went to bed last night at 10pm and woke up at noon without having taken any meds! I'm pretty stoked! I do have to admit that I'm still pretty hungry tho. I keep thinking I'm on Clear Liquids so I guess I need to break out the Protein shakes!

      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?
