Ihadn't been under anesthesia since the age of 5, when I got my tonsils out. You will be amazed at quickly you recover! I did experience some discomfort form the gas they pumped me up with but that went away within a day or two. Best wish and God Bless you!

Skippy C: you will be just fine! Don't worry . . . for me,coming out of the anesthesia was bothersome and the pain bad, but it didn't last long with the meds I was given before being dismissed.....went in at 8:00am, was home by 2:30 including hours drive from hospital. Today, three days post op, I feel back to normal, except for soreness and swelling in abdomen! Can't wait to hear from you post-surgery! :thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
