Preop assessment for bypass



Recommended Posts

I know for me, I've had to have an upper GI with Bravo testing, I had to get dietary notes, medical records & psychiatric testing & report done & a letter stating I'm stable from a psychologist.

It really depends. I had blood work, a barium swallow, a cardiac work up with stress test, a psych evaluation and 6 months of supervised nutrition counseling. My bypass should be next month.

Shame you can't wear a dress uniform, there is nothing more handsome than a Marine in full dress unless it would be a spotted Calf, believe I would still prefer a Marine, you are housebroken, whereas the Spotted calf- A loud noise at one end, no sense of responsibility at the other!
So happy the days are growing shorter toward your Surgical Day of Days. I expect only good results from you and your surgery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
