Nov 24th surgery very nervous what if it doesn?t work!



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled for Tue Nov 24th paying out of pocket not allot of hoops to jump through. Scared that I have tried everything out there and what if this tool doesn’t help. 5 11 male at 325lbs any words of hope from successful banded patients. Have lost hundreds of total pounds in the past with hard work but never can keep it off.

Thanks

I had and have many of the same concerns.

But just think about it...

every other time we tried to lose weight we didnt have help.

Now we will have help or a tool. the band.

We can and we WILL do this!

good luck!

I'm not going to lie. It is not a miracle cure. It takes work and it takes willpower, just like everything else you've probably tried before this. The difference is not being hungry, not being tied to food anymore. This tool has such a better success rate than dieting on your own (only 5% keep it off!) and it sounds like you're ready for a drastic change. You'll do fine! Have confidence in yourself.

      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?
