I just can't wait to be photographed, weighed, traced and squeeled at! Monday seems really far away right now. I'm kinda scared but mostly just hungry. I'd give almost anything for an egg roll from that little place down the street. I auppose ill never eat another egg roll again. Lol...Going to bed. Hungry. Again.

What do you mean photographed? Do the doctors take your pictures for before and after to share with other patients? omg, I hope not!

The day I signed the surgery consents the nurse took my before picture for my chart. I am sure they will only show other patients if you sign a consent for that.

My program took a before pic at my very first appt. It's in my personal file, not to be seen by any other patients. They also took my measurements. That said, I'm on day 12 of my pre op diet. I'm perfectly ok with never having another vanilla or chocolate shake again. Tuesday can't come soon enuf, that's my big day.

I agree. I'm luck I really like the shakes, I hope that continues after surgery. Getting ready for my last pre op! Getting nervous

      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?
