Finally-Time moves on



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days before surgery now. I will fly out of KC early Thursday morning for Houston, then San Diego and finally reach Mexicali for my vacation of surgery--best present ever for me to take care of myself. I am excited and have no worries, no anxiousness and no fears. So glad that I was not able to afford surgery years ago when my choices were limited to gastric bypass and band. I promise to post as soon as I am awake after surgery. Yippee, I am going to be healthy!:thumbup:

      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.
