Hi All, The closer surgery gets the more nervous I get the crazier my thoughts become. One of my cats got sick and is in the hospital something with his GI track. Now that has me upset enough as is but then I start to wonder if this is some cosmic message to me. Fortunately I had a bit of a wake up because my pre op ekg was borderline showing the beginnings of problems that are probably obesity related but I have no idea how I am going to keep my sanity between now and Tuesday.

I think the majority of us were super happy one minute and crying the next ... for the entire last week before surgery! : )

Normal stuff. I was so mad at myself when I was at the clinic and prepped for surgery, that I was crying and getting all worked up. Fortunately, a gal I met at the clinic, also having surgery, talked me down and the dr gave me a dose of happy juice in my iv. Definitely something to ask for!

I have zero regrets now! The sleeve is an amazing tool : )

You will make it! Hang in there!

That is so funny! I'm up, can't sleep because I'm over thinking right now about my surgery on Friday...it's kinda freaking me out, but when I got up and felt the pain in my knees I know I'm doing the right thing.

Sleeve for me, I would love to have some of that happy juice about now(G). I have always been a bit of a nervous Nell but menopause has really ramped it up and when I get stressed my stomach gets bad nausea +++++ so good times are had by all here(G)

      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.
