Have apt w/pmc to get the ball rolling ...



Recommended Posts

This fri morning. I'm going prepared w/all the info. He asked me to do the research, so I did, as far as what my ins covers, doctors in my area, ect.

I have a question, though. I read some where that if you have the realize band, you can't eat stuff like salads. I'm a vegetarian! Has anyone else been told anything like this?

Thanks

Kristine

The foods that bandsters can tolerate are as different as each person. A blanket statement like "You can't eat salads" is likely to be untrue....you simply won't know until you try. Good luck!

You literally cannot predict what you will be able to eat and not eat afterwards. I have a friend who has to let her salads sit covered in dressing for 15 minutes before she can eat it...I on the otherhand have no problems with salad. 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?
