Hey guys! I'm so excited. I finally got a surgery date for October 20, 2010. To date I've lost 14 pounds on the high Protein Shake diet. My nutritionist says I should lose between 80 to 110 pounds with surgery. It seems impossible but I'm willing to do my part. I realize that this surgery is a "tool" to become a healthier person. It's not a magic wand and I still have to work at it with following all the instructions, exercise, etc. My day is finally almost here and I am more than ready. I would appreciate all of your prayers! Thanks and God Bless!

      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.
