One week surgery follow-up...great!



Recommended Posts

Went to my dr. appt. today, and got the great news that I have lost 16 pounds since July 13 (consultation)! OMG! Now, I do expect that to taper off a little, of course, but it's a great jump start. AND, I am approved to go on to the mushy food, since I have done well on full liquids and have had no nausea. So I tested it gently with Cup-a-Soup, cream of chicken for lunch. I am really looking forward to Stouffer's spinach souffle for dinner. So, all steristrips are off, the port is where it should be, I'm moving along, and I'M SOOOO HAPPY! I just want to thank all of you who have made this beginning of the journey so much more fun and so much easier! I want to hear from other newbie banders, and find out how they are doing, too! Cindy:D

      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?
