Somebody help get me through today and tomorrow, banding wednesday!!

Last week I just couldnt concentrate and was just nervous, since this past Thursday i cant quit crying about every little thing and everything I eat just goes right through me. My husband told me to call the doctor but I dont want to. I think Im scared he will say maybe we should cancel the surgery for a while.

Hal I hope you read this...i couldnt figure out how to respond to you. Sorry

Hi:

It's quite normal to be anxious before the surgery. Some people have stomach issues when they have anxiety. You're probably on an all liquid diet pre-op, as most people are required to do this diet. If you're only having liquids it's not surprising if everything "goes through you".

Personally, it's the best thing that I ever did for myself. It's so much easier to be carrying less weight.

Best wishes to you.

Sue

Thanks Sue, but nooo im not on a liquid diet. My doc didn't put me on a preop diet at all. So, maybe I should switch to liquids today just to see if that helps with the stomach issues. Thanks again, Sherri

      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.
