Surgery to be done 2 procedures

Good morning all....

 

Today I had my consult with my new surgeon, Dr MC Natt. He is on the name team as Dr. Fuzz.

He was very open and really explained the progress and the why's of how they do what they do.

I will be having my surgery done in two parts.

Before some of you go awe that awful....I like the logic behind it,.....

 

He will take my band off out patient, then he will repair my Hernia (small)- common with banders.

 

After my band comes off he and his team will monitor my eating and exercise habits for 3 months.

 

This will allow them to see that I want this.....that I'm not playing and medically....it will allow my stomach to heal from possible 5 years of band scar tissue and recover form the hernia repair. He finds that this allows the stomach to heal and lowers that chances of leaks.....

 

I'm excited.....I go see Mrs Noress Thursday for my 2nd appt.

 

You have a good attitude.  I've seen others on the revision board and maybe here too (don't remember) state their surgeon also did the band removal and revision as two procedures while others will remove the band and do RNY at one time. 

 

Good luck!

Thanks.....You have to be positive and trust that your surgeons knows best.
