Starting To Get Really Nervous



Recommended Posts

I'm meeting with the surgeon on Wednesday and will set a surgery date. I'm hoping for December 13. But I'm starting to get really nervous. Not about the surgery, but about the impact on the rest of my life. Any advice?

I just got banded on Friday the 30th. It's a big step! A huge life change! But if you continue to read what everybody says and does on this forum, you'll learn so much and realize its a great decision! It's hard, and I was scared, but I'm so excited to just get over the pain of being overweight my whole life!!

What are your concerns?

Life will not change as much as how you interact with food will. Then you will be so happy because of all the awesome things you accomplish. You will believe in yourself again, you will have a special new pep in your step!

You will look back and say, " what was I so worried about"?

Relax, enjoy the ride!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
