I cant begin to tell eveyone how much this site has helped me. On my way to surgery I was having pre-surgery jitters! I just kept thinking to myself what other people went through and how much it was worth it in the end.

Today on a 'sore'day I just keep telling my self everyone has been through this and they are fine and I will too..soon.

To be honest the first reasons I did want bannded is b/c I hate the way I look. I have always hatted the way I felt aobut myself and they way I looked in clothes. I guess the 2nd reason was for my health.

It wasnt until I was getting on the surgery tabel when I realized how much more stuff I will be able to do with my kids when I am healthier and smaller. hit me Like a ton of bricks. And that is when true happines for the surgery hit me. I cant wait to go swimming with my kids for the first time. My 4 kids 6,5,4 and 2. Thats a lot of past-summers comming up with excusses why I couldnt get in the pool with them. But, next summer. I am all in. I am missing out on too much.

so thank you for this site and everyone who post. Your words are what got me through the drive to the hospital and what kept me in the hospital when I wanted to run. lol. THANK YOU all and good luck. -Tori

      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.
