Tomorrow (1/5) is the day...hard to believe I started this Quest almost a year ago and the date is here.

Nervous and scared of making it through surgery, after that I think I'm gonna love this.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and sharing of ideas. I've learned a great deal in the few weeks that I"ve been here, You all have been lifesavers.

See ya all soon

BigDawg,

So excited for you. You are at the threshold of changing your life.

Don't be surprised if the first week or so is a little harder than you expected. It may be fairly easy or it may be hard (I was one of the unfortunate ones that had a rough 1st week.) But, know that around day 4 or 5 things change for the better.

Keep us posted on your surgical progress and how you are doing.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!!!!

I am sleeved and I am home!

a little rough here and there, taking the liquid vicodin and getting rest.

Everyone has been so supportive, it's a great feeling to have so many people that think you're a brave soul for doing this, I guess it really is a bigger deal than most people think.

Looking forward to posting in the POST op forum now..8)

      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.
