OK...so I wanted to explain to my 13 yr old daughter what exactly was going on. So we pull up You Tube and watch the procedure that is going to happen. She was a little skidish at first but continued to watch....

After it was watched and all questions answered, she says to me "Mom, that is just a pure lie!" I am floored because I have thought I did a good job explaining and even included video. She continues on and says "You are not as pretty on the inside as the outside." I could barely contain my laughter! Told her that was technically true. It made my day.

That is so adorable LOL. Gotta love the kids and their total honesty even at the age of 13.

My daughter (10) thinks I'm going in and will come out skinny. She referred to the family guy episode of lyposuction which she isn't allowed to watch. I laughed so hard and explained that its not like that. Lol

msix, she is a hoot, I love it. Thanks for the smile today. Don't you just love what they come up with.

And they are so spot on most of the time.

I think showing her was a great idea. My stepson had some eye surgery a few weeks ago, he has cerebral palsy and he is non verbal (he never shuts up lol) so I used you tube to show him what was going to happen to him and it really helped when we went. He was prepared for everything. Till after that is, He walked back there like he owned the place and came out giving his dad and I the scolding of a life time, nobody could have mistook his meaning even if they didn't understand him. He was really mad at us. He is fine now.

      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?
