Recommended Posts

Can anyone relate to how EXCITED I AM!!! I finished all my pre op paperwork and handed my check over to the lady with a huge smile. My surgery is thursday and tomorrow is my last day at school as a "continueing to be fat" person. LOL I feel very confident and not in the least scared. This forum has helped me sooo much with my research and knowing what to expect. The dr. Asked did I have any questions for him yesterday and I smiled and said "No". Keep me in your prayers and I will post ASAP. Maybe bring my computer to the hospital? :thumbup1:

Oh yes I can completely relate to how excited you must be! After many many months I am excited just because I finally have a consultation appt. with the surgeon. It's not until 12/22, but hey, at least I'm in there...(I have Kaiser and while I'm thankful that it's paid for, I've been at this since March and am a little frustrated with the waiting).

Good luck to you and I hope you keep us informed of your recovery. I agree with you about being prepared because of this forum. It has been a huge confidence booster and I too feel totally at ease with my decision too. Sweet dreams!

      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.
