Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I've been on this site since I started my journey a couple of months ago.

Fortunately, insurance approval was pretty easy once they received all the info they need (Empire BCBS).

I have a choice of August 19th or 26th. I am thinking the 26th as I would have the surgery on a Wednesday and take the following week off work. Since it is the week prior to the Labor Day Holiday it will be a pretty slow time at work. I can work from home too.

I'm excited!! I have my pre-op appointment the week of August 3rd and will be starting the pre-op diet the week after. I'm not looking forward to that, but if everyone else here has been able to make it through, I will too!

Any suggestions about dealing with the pre-op and post op diets while working in an office? Did anyone bring in their blenders, etc.? Just wondering how that went. I am not telling "everyone" at work but a few people close to me know about it.

Thanks in advance for all your support!!!:confused:

Hi Summer Again,

Great you are just about a week before me! :confused:

Where are you?

I was thinking about bringing in a magic bullet, so I could use ice to mix.. we'll see. People will probably think I'm making margaritas or something. :ohmy:

      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?
