My Life Before and After Duodenal Switch Surgery

Pre-Op Dr. Visit

Saw Dr. Greenbaum yesterday for my Pre-op visit. We went over what the plans are in case he cannot do the duodenal switch and we agreed to do a sleeve instead. He offered to do a distal RNY but I declined that, I do *not* want to lose my pyloric valve.  I know that's going to be my first question as soon as I get out of anesthesia - Was he able to do the full DS surgery? This chat was necessary since I may have extensive scar tissue right around where he needs to make the incision below the pylorus valve, no way to know for sure until he gets in there.  However, I do feel confidence that if he says it couldn't be done, it really couldn't be done.

We went out to eat Thai food for my 'Last Supper' but that was cut short when my 6 yr old got violently sick at the table.  Um, check please?? LOL

Today I start my liquid diet, I'm sipping strawberry protein shake as I type this. Dr. Greenbaum provides all the shakes for the 2 week liquid diet so at least I don't have to wonder what's acceptable and what's not.  I picked a mix of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. I think later on I will use ice and crush it in the blender instead of using a blender bottle, the texture is slightly gluey but the taste isn't bad.
