My journey begins here as I sit here in the waiting area for Pre-admission testing. My surgery date is September 25 & my shrink the liver diet begins on the 9th.

I'm extremely nervous & feel like a failure. While everyone else tells me to give dieting a try my biggest supporter is my daughter. I'm grateful for her because without her I would be walking away from this decision.

So this is my reset button. Time for me to make the right, healthier choices in life! I want a life that will allow me to enjoy my children, hey maybe even add to my family, shop in stores without embarrassment, & to live with confidence in myself!

I look forward to travelling this road with you all! GOD BLESS!

Your attitude towards the surgery is spot on.

You can do it. And YOU are the one who will do it. So don't let anyone discourage you. This is hard work as well but you have a far greater chance of success with this tool if YOU work the program. It's all up to YOU!

And as we can all attest it is so worth it! God bless.

      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?
