I am on Tuesday. I have mixed emotions. I'm not really worried about pain, just hoping I can get through the first few months relatively unscathed.

Next Thursday here! I'm getting more and more anxious by the day just wondering what my life is going to be like.

I'm next Tuesday, it's been an emotional roller coster all week. I excited, scared, terrified, fearful; you name it I've dealt with that emotion all week. The closed I get to date the more I'm dreaming out. I told my mom tonight, what in the whole did I sign myself up for! I mean, I know why I decided on the surgery just scared of going into the OR for some reason and I l've had about 4 or 5 surgeries a so I should be a pro. Lol

It's going to be fine, really. I was sleeved three weeks ago and I was as nervous as a whore in church! I couldn't sleep for days. Once you are knocked out, you'll wake in recovery. You will not be in pain, you'll be full of pain meds. When I got to my room, they gave me pain meds ever 4hours through my IV. I was sent home with pain meds and took them for only two days. I had phenegran for nausea. I'm not going to lie, you may be uncomfortable the first week. Each day gets better and better! It will all be worth it. You just need to remember to walk, walk, walk and sip, sip,sip! Hang in there!

      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?
