Is it difficult' date=' I want to use dr Fernando Garcia.[/quote']

I may have to go alone as well... I've read many stories of people going alone, and they have no problems. Some even prefer to go alone because they feel like they aren't having to keep someone else company lol I have mixed feeling about it. My family isn't being very supportive so I would probably be better off going solo anyway than having someone negative yapping in my ear!

Perhaps you could find someone on here to go at the same time?

I like your suggestion, when it comes to my family they do not have a say because I am the one suffering by being FAT.

I'm in the same boat as Jesser.

I prefer to go alone. And the more un-supportive people are, it seems like I want to do this more and more.

Thanks that makes me feel so much better also. My hubby may be able to go! Looks like our finances along with his job schedule will allow it!

I went alone and I was fine. There were other people who had surgery in my wing so I made some new friends and had someone to talk to. I was actually glad my friend wasn't able to make it. I didn't always feel like chatting and there wasn't much to do for the three days in the hospital. I would have felt obligated to entertain her when all I wanted to do was take a nap.

What'd you do with your stuff while you were in surgery? That is my biggest concern of going alone...

      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.
