I should have taken a couple days off BEFORE surgery. I'm as unproductive as possible at work. in 48 hours I will be getting my band... and nothing at work seems to be distracting me from that!

I'd love to just sleep until Friday so when I wake up it's time to go!

and I am SOOOOO tired this week. I have been shaking my head to stay awake at work. So few calories. I don't feel dizzy or lightheaded, but I am exhausted. Is that usual?

I'd say it's normal. I think I felt the same way. That and I was highly irritable. I distinctly remember that!

I know how you feel. Im so glad that we were on vacation for 9 days prior to my surgery otherwise I would have driven myself crazy!

And yes- the tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness is really annoying. Its getting a little better for me now that Im trying to drink my Protein shakes.

OOOH my gosh! I have a Month and 6 Days until my surgery date, haven't even started the liquid diet, but am in the mist of all the pre-op testing, and I feel very out of it, mentally, I am to excited to focus, to nervous to focus, and then too excited again, I too, am very unproductive at work! Wait until I get to a few days before the surgery!!!! Good Luck with your last days!

I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I get banded in 13 days! I'm marking the days off of my calendar. I'll get banded on a Tuesday and I have taken Monday off just to have bouts of high anxiety.

My surgery is barely 24 hours away...

I've got an early day today too!!! Normally I work from 4:30am-1pm... today I get to leave at 11:15!!!! OK, have to go to a client to film something for our website but it shouldn't take too long. The main thing is being out of the building and away from email or the intercom paging me... I can make it through the day!

Thanks guys!!! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I've had this screenname forever!! I got frustrated setting up my first AOL account with all my choices taken and typed it in as a joke... and it took... and here I am... jingleboob forever! (MY bff growing up called me jingleboob once when I tried on a horrible christmas sweater that had bells on it... needless to say at 12 I had D cups and the bells were VERY unfortunately spaced...)

      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.
