Amanda, are you getting nervous?

I know you have to be because I am getting all nervous and excited for you!!!

Let me know how your surgery turns out. Is Dr Cunningham who you are using? I know you said but I am too lazy this morning to look it upl

I've been hearing good things about Dr Cunningham.

Keep in touch!

Sorry, I didn't see this until just now!

I'm ready. It's hard not to tell everyone what I'm doing because I'm so excited. My husband has a huge, very opinionated (not to mention SKINNY) family, and I've told a few of his cousins, but I'm trying to keep it to myself until after the surgery. We had a bridal shower for my sis-in-law today and I sat politely with my bottle of Water while everyone else ate the yummy food. I've got to sit through one more shower tomorrow, then Monday should be fine because I have no plans.

I'm not nervous yet. Ask me Tuesday, and I'll probably be a ball of nerves. I bet I won't get any sleep Monday night!

What's the update with you?

I haven't told many people about mine yet. I'm waiting to make sure the consultation, pshyc and lab work is all good.

I'm pretty sure it will be but just in case, I am keeping mum.

My hubby is afraid for me to have the surgery and I keep telling him most people don't have complications, but he is worried. Says I don't eat hardly anything as it is, and they are going to do something to make me eat less. Thinks I am going to starve to death. I guess he doesn't pay much attention to what I eat during the day. It's not a lot of food, just bad choices, but I'm working on that everyday as hard as I can right now.

I'm just going to take it one day at a time and work on what I can.

You are doing great!! Sipping Water at a shower is very very hard to do. One more and you are home free.

I am so excited for you, because I know how much and bad I want to have mine done. I'll be praying for you this week.

Let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for you, I'm not too far away if you need something.

My consultation is just over a week away.. Hopefully I'll have the chapters of paperwork filled out before then. Man it's a lot of things to fill out..

Take care of you and keep me posted.:bored0:

      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.
