Surgery In 5 Days Ahhh



Recommended Posts

I am!

I just went to the store to stock up on Jello & Powerade zero for afterwards.

Just found out I need to check in at the center at 10:15 on Tuesday. Since I live 2 hours away, it's perfect! I get to take my kids to school that morning before heading out.

I'm excited and nervous but oddly at peace.

Please keep me informed how you're doing.

My surgery is Monday and it is actually a strange feeling. I am super excited and can tell so since the days (more importantly, my days off) are DRAGGING by! However, the weird thing is I am not anxious or scared or on edge. This is very surprising to me! I'm usually a big worry wart and I am so incredibly calm, my husband asked me if I was really going through with it next week! I like the sense of calm though. Makes me feel like I'm right in my decision to do this!

I'm smack in the middle of the country here in Oklahoma. We're one of the fattest states but I'm refusing to be a statistic!

I'm having my surgery on the 13th too. I'm from Oklahoma and wished I had the peace some of you have. I think it was just such a surprise insurance came through. I am unsure about the process but know I have to make a change. Good luck to all and look forward to watching our decreasing numbers and increasing health. Bright blessings.

I'm with Dr. Walton. I can't wait! The main thing I'm nervous about is getting the laundry done, house cleaned, etc. ha! I'm a tulsan too BTW.

Meeeee!!!!!!! I'm super excited! The thing I'm most worried about is my kids ( I have 3. Ages 4,2,and 8 months) I haven't been apart from my youngest for more than a couple of hours and I am going to be away from them for 2 nights.

I spent today stocking up on Jello, broth and Protein powder. I also made sure to get the Vitamins that taste like candy ;)

And oh, Iowa here!

      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.
