So I just drank 10 oz of Magnesium Citrate and I have made it through the preop liquid diet and I am on the schedule for 10:45 tomorrow at U of Wisconsin Hospital following first making contact with them in August of last year. I'm excited, ready and at peace with my decision and really feel I have done all I can to be ready for this welcome change. I have learned so much from the boards and I wanted to say thanks again. I know we all are so different and so alike. I am just tired of letting my weight hold me back, restrict my life and influence virtually every decision I make, My time has come. We all have a ton of different reasons that we have a chosen this path. But no matter what those individual reasons are we all share the most important reason and that is we all want be better, better people, and we all feel like this surgery will make us better. So Good luck to all of you wherever you are in this journey Peace,Jim

      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.
