Hello everyone. I just came across this site and it is so informative. Thank you all for the info. I'm scheduled to have my bypass surgery on April 23, 2012. I'm excited and scared at the same time. My surgeon and therapist says that's normal. I have thought about this for 2 years. I finally decided it was time. My health issues really persuaded me to go through with it. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and asthma. My current weight is 297 pounds. Thanks again and I will keep updating.

Yep I agree my dr said its completely normal to be scared and he actually told me if I was 100% ready and I could tell him I wanted surgery that day he said he wouldn't do my surgery because being scared, anxious, nervous those are all normal for going through a huge surgery like this!

      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.
