I am a new member. My special date is November 2nd and I can not be more excited. I am trying to get ready the best I can. I go in on October 16th to get done everything I need to before the big day. Does anyone have any good advice to help me for the few weeks before and after?

Stay relaxed, do not worry you will do awesome. stay with the program before and after, nothing taste as good as being thin feels. I am a size 10 now down from a 18/20 and it felels good. I think if I get to a size 8 I will be happy, but I have to say a 10 is not bad after years and years of being an 18/20. I will keep you in my prayers and hope to hear more from you later.

If you have any concerns or questions ... post them here, this is a support group where you get great information from people and support. The whole surgery expierence is a bit different for everyone, some of us had no problems and some did. My best advise is to listen to your surgeon and do exactly as they say and you will be fine. It is the best thing I ever did and would do it again in a second. We all had our bumps in the road but still worth it !!! Good luck and don't be afriad to ask questions !!!

Hi and good luck. I have found research and this board has helped me tremendously. I've never had surgery so it has helped with the anxiety.

      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.
