My surgery is finally scheduled!



Recommended Posts

After waiting months for this, that and another thing to be done, my surgery is finally scheduled! YAY:thumbup:

I am having it done in three weeks - March 23. I'm excited and yet a little nervous! Any advice and/or suggestions for these last 3 weeks?

Congrats on your date! I have the same date as you and am so excited (seems like I've been going through the whole process forever) to finally be close!

I don't have any advice/suggestions. I go in next Monday for my 2 week pre-op diet, so right now I'm going through trying different brands of Protein shakes and such. I've also been reading more than normal on here, and trying to prepare everything (been shopping for Vitamins, bought a blender, stocking up on broths/jellos/etc.).

I know three weeks isn't long, but I have a feeling it's going to drag by for me. Good luck! :thumbup:

Y A H O O ! ! !

Just follow the pre-op diet. It is designed to reduce your liver size and make things easier for the surgeon and less pain for you.

      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?
