Tomorrow I Go See The Surgeon For My First Post Op Evaluation....nervous!



Recommended Posts

SO OK.. tomorrow will be the first time my surgeon sees me since i had the surgery back on 12-12-11. Im not sure what to expect.. Im a little nervous...NO FORGET THAT IM A LOT NERVOUS! I am soooo afraid that they are gonna tell me that im behind schedule of what im supposed to be losing. Ive heard stories ad i just don't wanna come out of there disappointed in myself..

I mean im doin everything that i can, i work out, and im getting in my Water and food(sometimes) im just afraid of what they will say..

I guess the only thing that I am excited about is for them to tell me what my ACTUAL goal weight is supposed to be.. the number on my ticker is just something that I made up cuz no one ever gave me a number.. i think im actually supposed to be somewhere around 160-165 because i do have a lot of muscle, but we shall see.

ANY ADVICE?!?!?!?!?! CUZ I THINK IM GONNA STRESS OUT UNTIL TOMORROW!

I think you will be just fine. I was nervous too! I saw mine for my 3 month check up. I had an okay visit. I wouldnt say it was the greatest but he said I was doing fine. He told me that my weight loss was going to start slowing down and I needed to up my exercise if I wanted to make goal but he could tell and had no doubt that I would! He had not set a goal for me so I asked him about it. He asked me where I wanted to be and I said 135 sounded good to me and he said "me too!". He did tell me that I needed to get down to about 125 so I would have some room for rebound when my weight decided to settle out... I took the positives and ran with it. I go again Feb. 10 for my 6 month check up. Good luck tomorrow and tell us what he says!

My only advice is to take a deep breath. Everything will turn out fine. It wouldn't hurt to talk over an idea on a goal weight with your surgeon to get some kind of direction.

Let us know how it goes!

      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.
