I sit here all freshly clean stomach scrubbed with special sponge in a maxi dress ( to protect my sutures) ready to go. Waaaay too early at 4:45 when I have to be at hospital at 6:00 AM. It's only a twenty minute drive to the hospital. My husband went back to sleep but I am afraid to. My dogs can't figure out why the heck I am up so early. I am terrified and excited at the same time. Looks like I have to crush all my medications myself because Walgreens won't compound them which I am not happy about. I am afraid I won't be able to keep them down when I have to take them. So many trepidations yet I go forth. I will write back later when I wake up

      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?
