Nerves are normal. The hardest bit is getting through the liquid food stage and after that it gets easier everyday. The actual surgery is not scary at all your asleep and recovery is so fast you are only uncomfortable for a few hours. It's a little sacrifice for a lot of good.

When were you able to tolerate more solids ? I'm 2 weeks out and seems like only sifts are good right now . Prob . 2 more weeks I'm thinking , that's what Dr . Thought . Any suggestions ? I'm not in a hurray , just occassionlly interesting in venturing out and it doesn't work .

My surgery date is April 10th and I'm just scared about the unkown. I haven't had any thoughts about backing out of it, which is good. Good luck to all of you!

      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.
