Freaking Out About Todays Appointment



Recommended Posts

I have been up since 245...couldnt sleep at all. I see the surgeon for my second pre-op appt with Surgeon, my surgery is in 2 days. I have followed my liquid diet with only one cheat (a dinner biscuit) back on my first day. However, im panicking that surgeon will come up with some reason to postpone my surgery...ive read a few stories on here of people who have gone through the liquid diet, and for one reason or another the doc would postpone it.

she didnt give me a certain amount of weight to lose or anything, but i have lost a couple pounds, and I still have today and tomorrow of just liquids. So im not sure what she could possibly use as a reason to postpone it,,but i still cant help but worry. ugggh

I think being anxious is part of the process. My surgery is set for Thursday and I am also anxious. If I were you, I'd keep doing what your doing and maybe try to loose what you can...I can't help but think that it will help after the procedure is finished.

Don't worry...you'll do great and he/she will be so happy with your progress.

So i have lost anohter 6 lbs, down total of 13..Surgeon was verrry happy with that..i told her my concern, she felt around where my liver is and said she doesnt feel anything that would cause concern..said it is always possible it may be a little enlarged, but she has no reason to think it would be so bad that they cant do the surgery :D

between the good news with the numbers on the scale..and her telling me that...i am on cloud nine...Thursday cant get here fast enough.

      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.
