The Curious One
Resident newbie with a million questions. I’m starting to think ahead to actually having surgery and will ask surgeon these things, but thought I’d pick your brains also.
Is it more or less typical to have gallbladder removed during DS?
With my previous band removal I would guess I have scar tissue and I also think I have a hiatal hernia. Is it possible to do all these things at one time?
Do most surgeons check your nutrient levels prior to surgery? What might I request checking beforehand?
I have fatty liver and last few tests showed elevated ALT and AST, is it heard off for people to get the liver biopsied while they are in there?
Besides trying to lose some weight and exercise, what can I do or take now to prepare my body for what’s to come?
How many people have you known or have seen die from this surgery or in the year following?
Thanks again for your continued guidance.
