New Here, And Getting Sleeved In About Three Weeks! Very Nervous. Any Advice?



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jaclyn, I am a 24 year old hairstylist in Florida. I am getting sleeved on September 24th, 2012 and I am nervous as hell! I have never had a surgery before, and I have never thought to fly out to Mexico to get one done... But I am. I have an appointment with Dr. Fernando Garcia. Anyone had surgery done by him? Did everything go well? Did you feel safe while you were there? Hospital clean? Nurses? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am definetley looking forward to my journey. I am tired of not feeling comfortable in my own body. It is time for me to think about myself for a change, I deserve it! Everyones' stories on here are always an inspiration to me! Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Not much advice here... but I did want to wish you good luck on your surgery. I am having my sleeve on 9/27/2012. So we're in the same week!!! I am so excited. Not nervous at all, but I am sure I will be on the day of.

Take Care and Good Luck!!!

      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?
