I had all the same as you are going for 3 weeks ago. I want to put up pictures but I cannot figure out how to blur out my nipples lol

Anyway, a heating pad was my salvation for my back. I took the pain pills as I was told, but also took something to help to not bind me. Drink plenty if Water and just relax. You will be soooooo happy. Good luck!!

It hasn't been that long.... Feb 21st. I am down to 158 lbs, size 7/8 jean and don't want to be any thinner! I've been in my 10lbs goal weight range for a few months and since I have met all my deductibles for insurance it is only going to be 64.00 dollars out of pocket! I have been toning with a trainer for 5 weeks to build some muscle in my abdomen hoping for an easier recovery.

My nurse said that I would be there 6 or 7 hours from start to finish. I took that to mean from the time I get there, which is an hour before actual surgery time, until a couple of hours after surgery for recovery. Hopefully I won't be under that long. Anyway, good luck with your surgery today! I am up and getting ready to go now for mine!

Congratulations pammy!!

I consulted with Dr harrris but he had little photographic evidence of his work since he had just moved there so I didn't choose him. Love PSSC and am sure he is awesome! Can't wait to see your photos.

      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.
