Hi all I have been trying to get this surgery for year and a half' now June 12 is just around the corner and I can't wait. Well I really started this process in 11/2008 and I was going to the first seminar at the end of January but in the middle of January I went for my routine mammogram and they found breast cancer so the lumpectomy I had was not the surgery I was hoping for. But after the chemotherapy and radiation therapy and a little time to get back on my feet I got the clear to try it again. As you can guess the main reasons for me doing this is health reasons and pain, I hope to feel a lot better after I lose some of this weight I'm tired of being in pain 24/7. I have my last pre-op vist tomorrow and I hope I haven't gained any weight, we have been on vacation so I haven't been very good! I have been doing my ( Fair-well tour ) of all my favorite restaurants. Just ready for it to be over. Starting weight 266 goal weight from doctor is 160+ but would love to be about 145.

      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.
