Amazing friends...



Recommended Posts

Today was insane. I suspected for awhile that my friends might know that I was going to get this done, but I didn't tell them or even hint at it in anyway. They just kept on saying things that clued me in. Well today she finally told me that they knew that I was getting this done. I was MORTIFIED, and scared. I live for her approval almost, she means the world to me. But she was SO GREAT. She told me that she wished that I wouldn't but she supported me know matter what I chose to do. She even went shopping with me on my preop diet and offered to take off of work to be with me the day of surgery. And her boyfriend, my other friend said that he wouldn't hate me if I got this done and that means alot to me also. He was great, he's really into biking and told me that i should go and he would help me also and we did and i rode about 8 or 9 miles around the lake(almost died but it was fun)! Well I just had to post it, it made me feel really good to know that they would love me no matter what. Yay for good friends, and an awesome support board!

Really good friends almost always know...even if they don't say so. I hope you will enjoy their support, and also what you learned: it is okay to be yourself, always.

That is so great. True friends support your decisions even if they don't agree with them. It'll make your recovery much easier if you have some people doting on you for a few days after too. :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
