Funny what others think about the surgery

I am scheduled for a bypass on 10/7 my daughter, 30 wanted to know if I was going shopping before or after surgery. I told her I wasnt sure what she meant and she went on to ask if I knew what size they were making me? Making me! Lol obviously she had the wrong idea about the surgery.

Much better to have it done and be on the road to recovery even without the daVinci I will not be disappointed if it ends up that they cannot use the davinci as long as it gets done.

My surgeon uses a baritric coordinator who told me exactly what tests were required and I needed to have them scheduled before I met with the surgeon along with having the psy eval and third nutrition class completed. At my first meeting he then gave me the weight I needed to get down to before surgery would be scheduled.

My understsnding is that the rny cuts out the hormone the same as the sleeve. But I believe the added benefit to the RNY is because there is a difference between head hunger and stomach hunger there is additional consequences to making the wrong choices. I had totally decided on the sleeve until I read all the posts of sleevers to bypassers and when I did talk to my surgeon he recommended the bypass because of my type2 diabetes. It is a very hard and personal decision. Good luck and remember no matter which one you choose you have given yourself a gift.

If you need to say anything tell them what happened surgery did not go as expected and will need another surgery in 3 months. Hang in there I am sure you are very disappointed.

My insurance company required one and required it to be within the normal range either with or without medication.

Final approval for my Oct 7th RNY received today! I was so nervous that I would be rejected because I had to go onto COBRA after loosing my job of 16 years in August. Things are coming together and I cant wait to join all of you on the loosers bench.

Two weeks out seems soon to be eating that type of food since you are still in the healing phase. But I know all doctors have their own eating plans. It maybe a normal new feeling of being too full but I would suggest anytime you have a question or concern talk to your team they would rather here from you. It sounds like you are doing really well.

Maybe the pressure needs to be adjusted. I would talk to the sleep clinic they may have suggestions perhaps a different type of mask.

I am still preop but something to try is to further dilute with Water or almond milk. Make sure you drink slow sips and try taking half the amount no more then 4 ounces but may need to start or go back to 2 ounces and then try more in a few days. My NUT had touched a little on this.

I am glad I have been reading this thread. I kept going back and fourth about bringing her here away from her family but decided for peace of mind one week would be best for the kids.

Almost over and I just completed my per surgery appointment- blood work and etc. Can't believe I have 2 days left until surgery.
