12/3 i joined the band-land



Recommended Posts

I almost put this in the pre-op lap-band section. This morning I got my surgery done and it went very smooth. Checked in to hospital at 5:30AM and left at 11:30AM. Now that I am home I am pretty scared. Every little pain here and there makes me worry that I am doing something wrong. I am drinking 1oz of Water every 20 mins as instruted. I had some soft sugar-free Jello and it took me like 30 mins to eat a very small portion. Just want to make sure i am not doing anything wrong. Well thats my journey so far in bandland. Talk soon.

      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?
