March 3rd is the date for me!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for lapband placement on March 3, 2009 in Phoenix Arizona! OMG I don't think I have been this scared and excited at the same time in my entire life. I have a wonderful family that has supported me the entire way. They would not let me give up on myself, even when fear set in! I hope the next week goes by super fast, before I have time to chicken out! Please feel free to drop me a few lines of support! Thanks!

my date is the 3rd also. I'm not so worried about the surgery or recovery time, it's more about getting used to eating post band. I'm sure you'll do fine, I'll look forward to your posts after surgery letting us know how you make out.

Less than 2 days to go. How's your pre-op diet going? I'm on a two week pre-op, today and tomorrow are Clear Liquids only. Before I could have Protein Shakes and 1 Protein Bar. I've seen a wide range of diets, some only 1 week, some with only the last two days. Today I met someone going this week, who didn't have any pre-op diet at all.

At this point is just getting through tomorrow, go to hospital in early a.m. 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?
