One Week Before Surgury



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:... My first day with the clear liquid diet... I made it through but was really rough toward the end of the day.

I am not looking forward to the next week!

Talk about panic attack.

How lucky you are! I had to do a preop diet for 3 weeks! And I cheated and so had to do it another 2 1/2 (even though I'd lost 15 pounds) It's hard but it isn't for long; and to be honest post op it is vital you follow docs orders which will probably entail more "liquid diet" while you heal. Hang in there and keep your eye on the goal; it's just a short time in a long life!

Oh I feel for you... I am so sorry. I don't understand why some surgeons require it and others don't ... I didn't have to do it thank god. I went out to my favorite italian dinner at 7pm the night before surgery... The doc told me I could.

      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?
