Tripping with Tren 3/20/09



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Well, as many of you know, I am pretty new to this. I have done my research for many months and have now booked the doctor appointments, including the first meeting. Today I met with my gastro doctor. I was extreemely nervous because I knew he could make or break my new journey. I have Barrett's Esoghagus from reflux and I knew that it could be a deal breaker. My doctor had no concerns and gave my thumbs up and a smile. I was so really relieved. Next week, I have an appointment with my general doctor on Tuesday and my first meeting on Wednesday. My next meeting for a different doctor will be on April 5th. He is the one that I am leaning toward. Wish me luck all!:ohmy:

Wow! Congrats Tren on getting the "go" sign :scared2:. Getting the preop stuff done is a breeze. I didn't have to go through a lot of tests though. The best was getting to talk to the nutritionist. I really felt like I was on my way! Good luck and keep us posted! :scared2:

Hi All,

Well, I just met with my general doctor today and he too gave me thumbs up. Two down. Now I need to go to my first seminar on April 6th. Wish me 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?
