That's so exciting! I felt that way too on Tuesday when I found out. I'm starting to freak myself out now though about the surgery

I don't know if anyone can help me ;). It's nothing to do with the after part. Not worried a bit about that. I'm just a apaz when it comes to hospitals and the moment I walk in I turn into a toddler and start telling myself and everyone who will listen that I don't need to do what I'm there for. I tried talking the doctor out of taking the pitossin (sp?) out of my IV and I would "promise to come back tomorrow". I suppose what's underlying it all

Is the fear of not waking up. I HATE needles and so that scares me. They will give me versed- but not until I'm able to answer their questions which always takes forever. AND they never believe me when I tell them that they will need to give me 3-4 hits of that stuff for me to tell its in and actually relax me. They always giggle and tell me I won't remember. I think my body fights it so much. I believe they gave me 4 hits of versed last time and I still remember the OR and the conversation and the music (nirvana) the doctor had on until I was out. ***sigh***

      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.
