Thank you everyone. The gas pain is horrible, even with me walking a lot. I'm hoping it will go away soon! I have been in tears when it gets to be to much. My right side of my stomach is killing me where some insisions are. Pain meds are a life saver at the moment. I'll have another leak test tomorrow, and i will keep everyone updated.

All of you soon to be sleevers, i wish you nothing but the best! I was petrified, scared i wouldnt wake up. But i made it with the support of my amazing familu and an absolitly wonderful surgical team. :)

      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.
