@ nancy_marie_00

What time is your surgery? Mine will be at 8am, so that means I must get up at 4:30, take an hour to drive to hosp, arrive 6:45.

Having warm broth again, for dinner, nothing past midnight. Jitters. I am not backing out now, not after 2 weeks of just shakes and Jello. I don't even know how long surgery takes, forgot to ask.

Good luck.

Mine is at 630 am. The surgery should last about an hour a little longer if needed, no more than an hour and a half. I am soooo nervous about getting this done..I have had many surgeries before, but nothing as life changing as this....I just cannot wait to be post op....I don't know if I am going to be able to sleep....keep me updated on how you are doing...best of luck to you!

Congratulations to you both!! If you haven't taken your measurements & before photos, be sure to do that today! You will want them later. :thumbdown:

BTW, I posted about what my surgery was like at the beginning of my blog, in case you're interested. It went really well and was much easier than I had expected. I hope the same is true for you both. Congratulations -- you have so many great things to look forward to! :)

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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.
