Starting To Feel Real



Recommended Posts

Had my psych appt today and see nutritionist tomorrow...dr consult on July 12 and surgery set for July 20. I'm a little worried that I'll be put on a pre-op liquid diet only because I know there are so many foods I won't be able to eat for a few months after the surgery. Trying to wrap my head around the idea that I'll actually be able to wear some of those skirts in my closet that I've held onto for years hoping that "someday" I'd lose the weight. Three weeks from tomorrow, new life begins...so much swirling in my head... Seems this is all I think about lately. I guess that's to be expected?

Oh, yeah, it's to be expected! You're getting ready to make a humongous change in your life! I can't even describe how much my life has changed for the better! :) I love being able to wear clothes that would have never made it up to my thigh before... or how great it is to know that I'm not going to be a sweaty mess if I decide to take the stairs instead of using the elevator. Shoot, just having the energy to choose those stairs is phenomenal!! :)

Good luck!! :)

And yes, all that you are feeling is totally normal.

CONGRATS to you!

      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?
