Bari Surgery Process

Well Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!!

So, I have scheduled all of my routine pre-op appointments which includes a PFT, echo, B/L LE venous doppler study, Upper GI, labwork, nutritionist consult and psych consult. All of these appointments will be finished by the middle of January, so I'm looking at not long after for scheduling the surgery.

My biggest concern now is figuring out the estimated time I will be out of work and maneuvering that. I'm hoping 1-2 weeks total, but I am seeing mixed feedback so I'm hoping to get a more accurate idea from the coordinator through the surgeon's office.

With the holidays approaching, it's bittersweet. Hopefully this time next year my life will be completely turned around, both physically, emotionally and getting my home life straightened out.

Happy Thanksgiving!
