Expect to be a little quirky and a bit nervous -- at least that was me! Congratulations on your date. I am four and a half weeks out and so happy.

Busy! I was running around tying up last minute loose ends, making sure I had everything, taking required showers, and so forth. Then I tried to settle down and sleep a little before leaving for the surgical center. :)

Congratulations!

Let me be honest with you...the day before my surgery was the worst day for me to get through. I was HUNGRY all day! Clear liquids only that day before surgery and it was not the easiest thing to do.

I was a bit irritable, excited, and anxious to get it over and done.

You will make it through, and you will be so happy you did! So if you have family and friends around you the day before let them all know you love them but might have to bite their heads off a bit the day before surgery mostly because your hungry and can't eat anything else :)

Best of luck to you, see you on the banded side of life!

Let us know how it goes!

      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?
