I am being sleeved June 11. I start my pre-op food tomorrow, well actually today now. Im getting really nervous as the time gets closer. I had the EGD done a couple of weeks ago and he found a hernia that he will also repair. Anyone with encouraging words would be greatly appreciated about now. Lol

Arts - best of luck on your surgery. I was 66 when I had it done. I see you are older. I see your posts all the time. Prayers coming your way. You won't regret it.

I am having surgery on June 6. I am looking forward to getting this completed. I started my journey last September. My husband and I are doing this together. He had surgery May 9 and is doing great. I have a little catching up to him, but we are supporting each other in this journey. I started clear liquid diet today and so far I am getting through this day.....one day at a time. :)

My surgery is june 6th also! Start liquids only tomorrow. My decision to have bariatric surgery was only made after intensive research and talking with lots of people who have had it done. I originally was looking at bypass because my insurance would not cover the sleeve. So glad that insurance starting covering the sleeve in January. So thankful as I believe that the sleeve is what is right for me! I have run the gamut of emotions! Happy, excited, nervous, scared and now back to ready to start the next phase of this incredible journey!

      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?
