Yep, perfectly normal. I was excited until the day of surgery, then for 2 days thought, what the heck have I done. Now 3 weeks out and feeling very confident I have done the best thing. I go to see my sister in Florida in a week, now that has me worried. I have been in this bubble for a few weeks and support like crazy at work. Being with the kids and my sisters, I may struggle, but I KNOW I will do find in the end.

Best of luck ladies.....you will do great :rolleyes:

Good luck to all of you. I read this forum every day before my surgery. I'm 1 month out and doing great. Half the battle is your attitude. I was tired of being limited in life. This surgery has turned me into a new person and I'm not going back

      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.
