I received my surgery date for Tuesday the 17 th of July. I know there is a lot I need to be doing but every since I got the day and time I have really slowed down. I think it is shock or my nerves. I need help on what I need to be doing for my big date. What do I need to expect?

Howdy!

We both have the same surgery date :)

Did your surgeon put you on a pre-op diet?

Do you feel mentally prepared for the surgery?

I'm currently on a liquid pre-op diet. It's driving me insane but we have to do what we must in order to become healthy.

The best thing you can do before surgery is eat light and EXERCISE. the more you work out the better your blood flow and heart will be for the surgery and it'll really help with the healing process

Yes he did but I knew before he told me. I think I am mentally prepared it just seem surreal I think. You right I know this is what I want because I want and need to be here for my kids and husband. I know I'm doing the right thing. 6 more days and the new me will be here.

      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.
