Great news - and you don't have long to wait either now!!

I'm sure if you have questions those who are on the other side will help out.

I know I using the posts to find out as much as possible and preparing myself - theres quite a few which help out with tips of things to take with you, and prep you can do at home.

Amongst other things I for one am:

Clearing out all 'bad' foods from the house

Making some Soups for the full liquids stage of the post op

Making sure hubby has easy cook food in place

Going to do a full house clean before the op, so I don't have to worry afterwards for a while

Have cleared out all my larger clothes which are too big... I won't need them again

Find a good book to pack for the hospital

Am trying to get into the small mouthful thing now.... and trying not to drink with meals.

Hope this helps and good luck for the 12th

Kathy

      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.
