@saltlife

Dr Jessie,she only works with the instrument called the butterfly?? U only have 1incision? Or do u have 4to5? Im asking because I started with her and ended up with DrA. her office took to long to move forward with me and that was one of the reasons I originally choose her.

Doing pretty good thanks. I went in to surgery yesterday, came out with 4 incisions...but they are pretty small so no worries there. I really didn't even feel like eating surgery day with the Clear liquids, but the day after I'm pretty empty stomach. So I just made watered down cream of wheat. Today, I can feel this small pressure in my chest where the band and I assume swollen stomach are. Other than that, I feel pretty good thanks!

      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.
