RNY Gastric bypass.... Duodenal Switch.... April dates?!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, so I had a reconsult with my new surgeon and we talked for like 2 hours unlike the lastone who said to come back when I'm done with my 6month weighin. I'm so happy to have a surgeon who is VERY SUPER INFORMITIVE. He basically redid the seminar but only got in depth with these two surgeries (which I didn't even know my insurance covered the DS) anyways I was soooo set on having RNY and believed that this was the surgery for me. Well anyways I've done a lot of research along with everything he has told me, and I believe now that the DS is the surgery for me. Although I know noone who has had this surgery only people who have had RNY. I'm nervous and excited and all I know is I cannot wait for march to be here already so I can submit to insurance and be approved. Anyways I was wondering if anyone else has looked into having DS and still had RNY or if anyone has done their research and what they think about the DS. I will be having OPEN DS and will call my surgeons office tomorrow and tell them that's my decision on surgery. I will have my 6th weigh in with my doc on feb 1. And then my 7th weigh in on march 1. And then have my psych eval around the 5th of march and hopefully submit by the end of march and 7 to 10days later have approval! So have my surgery by the end of april hopefully before my bday! (May5) and have all my cardiology and pulmiary tests in febuary. Excited to get this done. Anyone else around the same schedule as me?! Would like to hear any comments (except negative of course) thanks!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
