My surgery is in one week. All appointments are over. I lost weight (15lbs) but put some back on. I know it clears the way for the surgeon but seriously, it's like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic. No special pre-op diet or rules from the hospital. The doctors simply said be careful and don't binge.

I read to comments about pain immediately afterwards and head hunger. I expect this. It's probably the head hunger that got me most of the way here to begin with. As with every diet I've been on, changing behaviors and adding exercise is the key to sustained weight loss. Easier said than done and while I'm still a week away from surgery this has got to be the best diet tool ever handed to me. Bring it on !!

I am right there with you! I had my final pre-op appointments with the Dr and the anesthesiologist today...paid my bills and I finally am set to go on the 25th. I am excited but scared as well. Hope you do well!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
