This was my experience , got to the clinic and they brought me to the pre op room had me change to a gown and sit in a chair with a warm blanket , the doctors came in and introduced themselves then the nurse brought me to the OR I got on the table they numbed my hand put in the IV which I did not feel next thing I knew I was in recovery

For me, they took me into pre-op had me change into lovely hospital attire, and scrub my tummy with some wipes. They than hooked up a warming blanket and started and IV. Than a more papers to sign and the anesthesiologist came to visit, he even told me a couple jokes! Finely my surgeon came in along with her assistant and before you knew it off to the OR. I was in pre op about 2 & 1/2 hours before surgery. But it all went rather quickly. Once in the OR they put a mask over my face and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. Hope that puts you at ease. It all went smooth as can be. Only found out in pre op that my insurance required I spend he night. All was smooth and easy on my end. So glad I did this! Blessings to you for a perfect outcome!

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
