Hi - Introduction And Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

I wrote an introduction and about me post a few days ago and haven't received one response to say welcome, good luck, nothing. I read the posts on this site so I know there is support and encouragement here but I was surprised at the silence.

I wish everyone the best but this site apparently is not for me. Please make the new people feel welcome. We are all in or were once in the same boat.

Yes, I agree, don't feel discouraged. I'm new here as well and although I haven't written an introduction I do see there's a lot of support and help here. I'm sorry you didn't get any response to your introduction, I actually just started replying after being a " lurker" for a few weeks. Please stick around and join in, I'm sure you can contribute as well as benefit from all of the knowledge and support here. :)

Welcome to all of you. Sorry you didn't get responses on your first posts. There are so many forums and threads here that sometimes posts can get lost. Hope you find a lot of information here on your journey.

Same thing with me, but hey, I just thought it was the pink hair. I probably should have used the pic of me with the purple hair as my main one :)

Welcome! : ) sorry u didnt get any responses. I think there are often si much info and activity here that your posts may have been overlooked. Depends also in which forum you post, some get less traffic but the site is extremely friendly and supportive. Im preop and have found it to be a treasure chest of info and support.

      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.
