I have both my Nut pre op today and my hospital pre op testing today. I'm nervous that they'll find something to postpone my surgery because it has happened to others. I haven't had any bad labs really before...so I'm hoping I won't have any issues now. DAY 4 with NO SODA! This is a HUGE deal for me!!!! I'm proud of me. I do still miss it...but I hope by the time a few months pass I will no longer want it. Wish me luck! I'm thinking of all ya'll having surgery today! ((hugs))

I did my pr-eop Monday. Previous to that my surgeon ordered and EKG which turned out abnormal. I was put through another EKG, a heart sonogram, a thallium stress test ( where they put radioactive Fluid in your veins) and tread mill. I was really freaking out thinking I was gonna have heart bypass surgery not VSG. After all of that I asked the Cardiologist what was wrong and he said he couldn't find anything. You will be fine. Just think of it as another step to prepare for your surgery. They might give you this little red Bracelet to wear that has your type and cross match on it. I have gotten some weird looks because I have to wear it until my surgery which they finally decided was next Tuesday. I think with pre-ops, no news is good news.

Good luck sweetie. I know how hard it is I quit drinking soda and it was the hardest thing I have ever done atleast it seems like it lol. Switched to tea, then green tea, then on my pre op diet I can't have anything with cafeeine. Thats going to be really hard. Hope everything goes well for you! :)

      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.
