The "sleeve" is your stomach or what is left of it anyway. I've went through a lot of scared phases always focussing on the negative possibilities. now I'm just sure everything will go well and i will get through this. Where is your surgery? Mine is in Reno, NV.

Good luck. I was sleeved on March 15 th and it's the best thing I've done. After surgery I did go through a down stage where I wondered what I had done to myself but now after 100 lb loss I feel amazing. Just be prepared for the low days but remember it's normal. You will be fine xxx

      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.
