The anticipation of surgery was harder than recovery. I was terrified but finally just went through with it. I had quite a bit of work done...two genius repair as well as adhesions removed from a surgery 27 years ago which was an open surgery. I was told I might not be able to have laparoscopic surgery because of this prior surgery and remembered the pain of the open surgery. No problems, text book recovery and laparoscopic! Try not to be too anxious guys, there are plenty of us on the losing side that have done just great:) good luck

Things went well my bloot sugars are all over the place. Was given insulin 2x so far. I am sleeping on and off and did a small walk. It is hard due to dizziness. I made it through.

      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.
