Getting So Scared... Panicking



Recommended Posts

I Leave tomorrow morning for Tijuana. My surgery is with dr ponce de leon. I'm not so much worried about my surgery per say, but more like being away from my babies so long, my plane crashing (wing falling off, terrorist, etc), and then I'm worried about what he may find when he goes in to remove my band. If I have too much damage, I won't be able to get my sleeve, and if I am able to get my sleeve, I'm scared of complications. I'm going nuts here :( not to mention I'm having some SERIOUS head hunger now, my pre-op diet is yogurt and Water for 3 days (im not the hugest fan of yogurt.... I don't know how some of you have been able to do preop diets for weeks at a time!!

      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.
