The Countdown BEGINS!



Recommended Posts

After being DENIED, and then reconsidered my surgery date is VERY close.

Friday was my last day of work until 2011. And, I will be SLEEVED on December 20th!

I thought once I started my Pre Op Diet it would all seem real. But, it wasn't until the nurse called on Friday that it became REALLY real.

I bought all my Vitamins. I bought some stuff for afterwards.

I've packed my bag, cleaned the house.

And, now I wait!

:)

Monday December 20th, at 1:30 I will be SLEEVED!

Thanks to everyone who posts here who has helped me so much in deciding I wanted the sleeve.

And, a SPECIAL thanks for Tiffykins who has been AMAZING!

Congrats!!! My surgery was dec 13th at 1:20pm. I got there early, around 10am...we live about 2 hours from the hospital, and someone decided to be a no-show so they moved my surgery up to 11:20! So I know how you feel about the late surgery time. That day goes by super fast though. Good luck!

      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.
