The End Of The Beginning



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. This past Wed. I started my pre op Protein. My surgery is set for 11/14, and tho I am

hungry, it's taking me awhile to get "used to" the fact that I can only have the Protein Shakes. It's

getting better, so I'm hoping I can do this without any cheating.

You can do this. Think of every pound you lose now, is one less pound you will need to lose after surgery!

Hi Day. I know I can. I will definitely have challenges, but I think I'm up for them.

What's your story?

Well, so no surgery date yet. I have my psych eval on Monday. That is the last thing I need to do. I'm self pay so I don't have any insurance hoops to jump through. I'm hopping to have my surgery in February. I started the process back in July. Because of a new job I'm trying to build up as much vacation time as I can by February. Since I had so much time to kill before surgery, I've been trying to form as many good habits as I can before surgery. Keeping in mind the more I loose now the less I have to loose later. Just need a few more bad habits to tackle. Anyway, that's my story. Hope I wasn't too long winded. :rolleyes:

      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.
