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!

      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!!
