Banded Yesterday!!



Recommended Posts

Was just banded yesterday and am sipping my first Protein Shake as I type. I feel rather good. A little tight in the abdomen but not a lot of pain. Alot of the gas it gone, slept pretty good, and had no problem putting on socks and getting dresses.

I had a great surgical team in Dr. Johnson in John's creek GA and at Emory John's Creek. All of the team was GREAT.

I had lost 20 pounds preop and looking to move the scale a lot in the coming weeks.

Thanks to all on this site. You provide such great information that nothing that has happened so far was a surprise.

I can't believe they made you eat before leaving the hospital. I was only on clear liquids there, now on Protein Shakes and one other clear liquid for a week. I have no interest in real food right now.

Good luck to you. Drinking liquids may make you feel better.

      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?
