Finally have my surgery date for SIPS/Loop DS

[GigiNFortWorth 12]

Excited but nervous! I will be having a revision from the sleeve to the Loop/SIPS. My surgeon will be removing my gall bladder, fixing my hernia and then doing the Loop DS. Has anyone had all 3 of these done together? It just seems like so much! Thanks! 😊

yep I have! just a little over 3 months ago! DS switch, hiatal hernia repair and gall bladder removed. tough but I made it! didn't feel better until about 3 months out I almost feel normal again! you will do fine! Better to get all three done now rather than separate! Good luck! you wont regret it!

May I ask who and where you going to do surgery. Meaning who will be the doctor and where will it be. Oh and one more question how long did it take to finally get a surgery date.

I was told to take a Multivitamin with Iron and minerals before my gastric sleeve surgery and not to take any Nsaids, or birth control that slows or stops your menstrual cycle. My doctor is

Dr. Parrish inAlexandria, La.

He wants me to eat a lot of Protein too. The Vitamins I have to take before and after the surgery.

Hello,

my surgeon is dr Ayoola in Denton tx... I didn’t have to wait for insurance approval since I am disabled and on Medicare, pre-approval is not required. I am a diabetic and the sleeve did not help me at all, also regained half of what I lost. I am so excited but nervous as well! The sleeve was a breeze, so Hoping this is just as easy.

Dr. Ayoola is one of the BEST DS surgeons in the US; you’re in great hands!!
