Hi everyone!!!!! My date has not yet been set. I see the Psych on Friday and then I need another sleep study because the last one was 6 years ago. After that I'm ready. I'm getting nervous now. Dr. Vollinger in Charlotte will be my surgeon. Did anyone else experience getting ready nervous by nit knowing what's next??

I sort of had the same experience... I was more anxious then nervous. The more appointments I went to the better I got. After that I was excited.

That doesn't mean I wasn't ever nervous! My date is March 26th and I did alot of back and forth with the idea of going through with it. My consult with my DR put my mind at ease and made me excited but it also blew my mind like "I'm doing this?!" It takes a bit to get used to the idea but eventually it'll get easier.

At the consult my doc told me to start scheduling my preop appointments and before I left her office they scheduled me with all of their appointments. So bascially I had appointments once a week for 2 months! It was an exciting ride for me.

Whatever your feeling is normal! Good luck to you!

I completely understand. It seems like every time I go to an appointment I end up walking out with two more appointments scheduled. I've got until August and I'm not really sure what all is left.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
