Well I had my pre op appt at the hospital, paid the surgeon:eek: and am set for Thrusday. Now I have to start the pre op diet tomorrow.... I am nervous excited and scared. Was anyone else like that? The baractric coord. was a patient at one time too so that made me feel better. I have had lots of surgeries but never been this nervous. Any words of advice???

You're so very close ! ! ! I was more excited because I knew that I getting rid of the horrid band/port pain.

I always tell people go in thinking positive, come out with positive results. Asking for a little valium before they wheel me back always helps with that mantra LOL.

You're gonna do fabulous, and I will be out of state, and probably won't have access to the net until I return home, but you'll be in my thoughts, and I'll come back looking for an update from you.

      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.
