Jennifer, thank you so much for your very kind words. As time goes on, I'm so scared. I don't think that I will be able to do it. I'm too wrapped up in the clauses about death and possible damage etc. that could happen, and then I'm reading about having this 'golf ball" thingy happen and fills not allowing any food in and spitting up and oh my gosh...I just want to be normal again and look great doing it. I think this waiting period is going to blow up into a full blown panic/anxiety attack. Congrats to you though for going through it and losing the weight-that must feel terrific!

Just a quick update Jen--yesterday I bailed! Can't believe that I let my anxiety get the better of me...I had a frank discussion with the doc and nurse and decided that I will postpone until September-when things are more settled for me. I don't do waiting very well at all-it gives me too much time to think.

How are you doing? Are you still losing regularly and loving it?

Katherine

Katherine,

It's better to have peace about this....if you have too many questions or concerns you won't do as well.....at least that's been my experience!!

When/if your ready you will do it!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!! ;)

God Bless,

      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?
