Recommended Posts

Hi, Just thought I would drop a quick hello and a big thank you to everyone on this site. I'm getting banded on Oct. 24th. I was getting really worried for a while, "Was I making a big mistake?", "Am I nuts? this is major surgery and a huge change in my life." I was getting really scared but I found your site and after reading your threads I feel so much better. I now feel like I'm prepared to face what is to come. Keep that support going people, "You do a body good." :(

I would like to say the same thanks! I'm feeling much better about my surgery on Oct. 11th now! Thank you all for the advice!

Jladybird- our surgeries are so close! We should try to keep each other informed. Please e-mail me- maybe we could help each other along the way. Where are you having it done?

Everyone else-have some more of the "inside" advice that you think would be useful to us having the surgery real soon?

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Hi Shanmnband. That sounds like a great idea. I'm getting it done by Dr. Neal in Shelton, Wa. Seems like a really great doctor and clinic. Good luck on the 11th, from what I hear you should do great.

      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?
