Hi all,

I'm being banded on Tuesday. I am compiling a list of necessities to take with me for an overnight stay.

So far, I have:

1. Chapstick.

2. Tooth paste/tooth brush.

3. hair brush.

4. Video camera (I am documenting my journey on Youtube).

If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. :smile2:)

Thank you,

Paulette :))

A small pillow for the bumps on the way home or a sneeze or cough. Some really loose soft comfortable clothing and a non underwire bra or sports bra. There is one incision just below the bra line that smarts a little. Looks like you are good other than that.

easy on/off shoes (not slippers, because people tend to drag those) to walk in. You should be walking quite a bit. And if you wear contacts, even if they are the ones designed for overnight wear, they won't let you wear them in the OR.

AND...your cell phone

Thank you so much! Yep, I forgot to put down a pillow and the sport bra!.

Thank you restless, I have some of those plastic-type clog looking shoes that I wear a lot. I think those will be good. I don't have to bend over or anything.

Thank you so much!

      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?
