I am super excited, I have booked my surgery and my flight with Dr. Kelly for May 10th! :rolleyes: anyone else having their surgery that day? My plane ticket is purchased, and everything is ready to go. :D I will be traveling alone, which kind of scares me. :unsure: Anyone else traveling alone? or have traveled alone?

Do you mind me where you are travelling from, or what state? I may end up being a sleeve buddy to you. I am pretty sure I am going with Dr Kelly. Just need to fill out the forms & figure out a date!

I just had tonsillectomy & uvullectomy last week though, so in huge amount of pain right now. Have to drink Water & just hurts to do it. :(

So waiting until this surgery is over & I am feeling better, before I book with Dr Kelly.

I would also be travelling alone, from NJ. So would love to have a sleeve buddy there to meet up with!

Congratulations! I don't think you will regret it at all. I went back to work today and am feeling great just 10 days after my sleeve. Never once threw up, had the slimeys (not sure what they are and don't want to know)no pain. I'm just dying to get to the mushie food stage. Never thought I would be craving a scrambled egg!

Lol DDFin I bet after so much liquid you would be craving eggs. That is going to be the hardest thing for me I think, I love crunchy stuff, even healthy crunchy like carrots and cucumbers! Thank you for your good wishes and your willingness to encourage and share your experience. Good luck going back to work!

      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.
