angelbubbly

welcome to the group :)

always nice to see a new smiling face :)

don't live in Seattle, but i thought i'd still say hi :)

surgery on wednesday :o

little nervous/scared/excited???

many/most/all of us go through different emotions before and after surgery

prepare yourself for a mental and physical rollercoaster ride :unsure:

its all good

you hopefully will breeze through surgery, recovery et al

right after surgery, get up soon as possible and walk, walk, walk - no marathon yet - but walking is good, breaks up the gas too

drink, sip as much Water as possible

sip very slowly for now

water is soooo important to all sleevers

at the beginning stage - Water is more important than even proteins!!!!

you might have some normal issues like gas, being really tired and "maybe" you'll be alittle naustious too :ph34r:

but things do usually get better day to day :)

continue to read the boards and get plenty of good info

post your questions, comments

as time passes we'll enjoy seeing "less and less" of you ;)

good luck on wednesday

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life :unsure:

take care

speedy recovery

kathy

      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?
