It's not to long of a process. Thing that takes the longest is all the things you have to do before surgery such as all the health screenings and such after that it was a breeze hang in there sister you will be sleeved before ya know it. And on your new journey:-)

No maam I haven't had any real complications that werent normal. I had no pain after surgery i was natious the second day after surgery . Had probs with fluids at first but better with that now. Have you had surgery yet or are you in the process of getting sleeved. How awsome that we live in the same town. We should get together sometime lol

      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.
