I'm new here. My surgery date is June 26th and now it's all starting to hit me that this is real. This is really happening and I'm freaking out! I'm glad I found this forum and look forward to having support from those going through the same thing. I guess I just need assurance that all will be ok

Hi everything will be ok....there is no hunger after the surgery...it will be some pain from the incisions and extreme exhaustion from the anesthesia , but it is so worth it...it's a whole new life and a whole new way of looking at food...it doesn't taste the same which I think helps with not craving certain things anymore ... I just found this forum and I'm glad to finally be able to chat with real people , good luck

This is my first post & I'm new here too! I'm scheduled for June 20 which is now less than a week away. I've done massive amounts of research and consider myself completed educated on the procedure but I'm freaking out anyway. I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of not being hungry. I'm also very nervous about the surgery but excited too. Weird feeling but everytime I've taken a risk in life it always turned out to be for the best. Just keep beleiving in yourself and everything else will work out :)

      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.
