Threads by Guy Banders?



Recommended Posts

Good evening all,

This my second post. I am one day post-op and doing remarkably well. I am retired military and had my procedure done @Wilford Hall Medical Center (Largest Air Force Hospital located in San Antonio, TX a.k.a MilitaryCity, USA). I have surfed this website most of the day and everyone is very supportive. I have found a tremendous amount of valuable information so far. The ladies are great but I haven't seen very many male banders yet. Since guy's & gals are designed a little differently, I am wondering if their are any "guy" only threads that address the guy problrms/questions? Thank you.

Just wanted to welcome you, Trench123. I'm a female resident of San Antonio; a Texas native and married to a retired Army man...I'm a nursing student at UTHSCSA and my husband was a nurse. You got good care at Wilford Hall! If you need any help that can come from a rational female perspective (LOL that Is NOT an oxymoron) I'll be glad to help!

Good Luck Steve!

Nothing against the ladies but I do wish there was a guys only section.

My doctor just submitted my docs to the insurance company yesterday. I have UHC in GA and will be anxiously awaiting their "approved" response. I'm 52 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I'm so ready to do this!!!

      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?
