I'm just now beginning the appointments.
I'll be on a 6 month wait that begins on July 7th after the first visit with dietician.
I have a massive umbilical hernia (previous surgery on twice for similar repair) that I'm hoping to have repaired at the same time that I have the bypass.
The surgeon has a firm 2-3 day hospitalization window with bypass.
This is good for the hernia repair, too, I think.
The last two were outpatient basis and recovery was NOT fun.
I'm concerned about having gastric issues at same time of hernia recovery.
I know it'll hurt but at least taking a month-to-six weeks off work to recover from hernia will allow good timeline for bypass adaptation.
Thoughts?
Insight?
I'm lost but feel better about the direction my weight battle is now heading.
