October 2019 surgery peeps?

  • Popular Post

Hi all, Anyone have an October 2019 surgery date? Mine is 10/28/19 (my surgeon is away for 2 weeks, so I'm at the end of the month). Oh, the holidays are going to be so weird this year (my birthday too, which is 11/19).

    I'm in my room now, all went well. I came out of the anaesthesic crying so my nerves really showed. Currently wired up to a drip and have a self dozer of Fentanyl so I'm no feeling any pain. Crushe

My surgery is scheduled for 10/18! It feels even more real now.

Hi all. I’m scheduled for 10/15/19 for RNY.

Anyone else RNY or mainly VSG?

I am set for 10/1 and also getting RNY. I went to my 4 week (but really more like 3) pre-op appt this morning and start the diet tomorrow. There were 5 other people in my meeting this morning and all of them were getting RNY. Things are starting to get real!

I am RNY too.

Hello all, I'm hoping for an October date. I'm still waiting on the insurance to approve it. They have till the end of the week to say yes. Which I'll be calling on Wednesday to see. I'm so ready for this to happen it's going on 8 months and I'm done waiting.

I got my EGD done on Friday. She wrote on the report that no findings to prevent bariatric surgery.

However, I have antrum gastritis and she said it looks quite red and sore (no ulcers). I have been taking omeprazole for months but my stomach does burn when I wake up prior to taking that pill.

I’m wondering what will happen when the antrum becomes part of the remnant stomach. Will the omeprazole work? Will that part no longer be irritated since it will no longer be digesting food?

I plan on asking these questions of the doctor in a few weeks but wondering if anyone has a clue about this.

Thanks

I'm scheduled for Monday, October 7th. I'll be having the Roux-en-Y.

??‍♀️ October 1st, mini gastric bypass

I am getting sleeved on September 17. I will let you know how it went after I recoup.

Hello, joining y'all. Just found out today I'm approved for Gastric Bypass. It's been a stressful journey where i initially wanted the sleeve but after research choosing the bypass. Yay! They said sometime in October and I'll have a definitive date next week.

Hi Lala. you and I are the same height and around the same age and weight. I'm waiting for my date but it will be in October. I'm also having RNY. Nice to meet you!

Prayerfully I will be an October Sleever! I just got a call from my Surgeon, I had the endoscopy done yesterday. I have a hiatal hernia that he can remove during the surgery. He will be sending my information to insurance company tomorrow.?
