Recommended Posts

I am set for surgery monday, just found out this monday, had almost giving up and got a call on my cell phone . It was the Doctors Office said they had everthing they needed and i was scheduled for surgery, had a preop class yesterday. Friday i have a gallbladder scan. and meet with the doc. Have to have clear liguid diet sat. and sun. I am starting to get nervous. but i want this pretty bad . I am Divorced and live along . They said i needed to have somone stay with me for 3 days. so i lied and told them i had someone...LOL. My girlfriend doesnt want me to have it, so she is out of the picture now . so I am going to go it along. My son is supportive of me doing this so it wont be so bad. sorry for the rambling. Just excited and scared at the same time...

Do you have someone to take you home after the procedure? I think thats the one time you really do need someone else around...

I applaud you Buck. You are going for it despite what some others think. You are doing this for you- congrats bud.

I am being banded on August 14th here in Canada. Regulations are a bit different here but the results from the banding are the same for sure.

I am glad your son is supporting you-my husband is EXTREMELY supportive as well.

I know all about the feelings of fear and excitement..lol. It's a mixed bag hey? I wanted you to know that someone is thinking of you and wishing you all the best in your journey. I know things will go well for you and that you n me both are on our way to a greater peace and happiness.

Good luck my friend... and drop me a few lines when you get healed up and rested if you can.

All my best,

Beth from Canada:thumbup: :sneaky:

      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?
