I was told Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch then swig the magnesium citrate at 2pm. Then it's Clear Liquids only until midnight. After midnight nothing ... not even sips for meds.

I finally wrapped up work and can totally start focusing on the procedure and my new lifestyle. Now that I've started the bowel prep, it's starting to seem more real.

I came home on Nov 4th and then spiked a temp of 101.2 ... Called the doc and he suggested that I work harder on my incentive spirometer and up my fluids a little. Worked like a charm. My fever is back down under a 100. I'm taking my Lortab elixir around the clock every 4 hours so I can focus on my deep breathing. The gas pain is still significant so I'm trying to walk and take gas-x strips. Hope it goes away soon.

      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.
