Met someone before surgery



Recommended Posts

My surgery is April 10th and I have met someone he asked me to Celebrate his birthday on April 13th. He is also a nurse like me. I hadn't planned to share my special event with him until I knew he was someone I wanted to share that with. I want to stay honest but not sure if I want to share this with him at this time. Any advice?

Honesty is best, and also hardest. Better to be honest now than trying to maintain some lie. If he's a quality human being, he'll be supportive. If he's not, then you don't need him around anyway, right?

If you like him it's best to be honest and tell him before hand. If he doesn't support you then he isn't right for you.

Thank you ladies. I have a channel on YouTube and I talk about this journey I decided to have him look at my video blog. He took it better then I could imagine. He said he knows the psychological effect this surgery could have on a person and he would be there to support me through it. Very sweet man.

Great news! Even though my bf and I have been together for 2 years it took him a bit of talking to be ok with the whole thing...I still think he doesn't understand how big of a change it will be..he doesn't care that he's fat so I'm hoping he will still help and respect my life style change

      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?
