Oh yes very nervous, hopefully I don't chicken out lol, I had my gall bladder surgery scheduled 2 times over the past few years & canceled I just been dealing with the pain, but I'm ready for a change ready to drop this weight & get to do so much more with my kiddos.

I had the ultrasound and I don't have Gall stones so my gall bladder is safe for now. Im getting so nervous. my surgery is one week from tomorrow on Jan 28th. Kenny I think ours is around the same day. I am getting nervous. I just went to Vitamin Shoppe and met a really great employee who helped me out. We bought Isopure and calcium citrate liquid. He said Flintstone Vitamins are not that great because it has synthetic Vitamin E or something. I already bought a huge bottle so it will have to do for now.

Yes my surgery is the 28th also. I haven't bought anything but some broth yet. Lol I go Thursday to meet with the dietician & do pre op tests. My friend had surgery Friday with the same dr I'm using he came through good & already lost 10lbs. I'm nervous but hoping for the best.

How awesome to have a friend with same doctor do it too! My friend is doing it but not until April. I did all my pre-op. I'm ready, I think.

Good luck to all you January newbies, I'm scheduled for Fed. 17th and am getting very excited. I found a great site for Vitamins and the prices are amazing and they even have done bariatric specific stuff (pipingrock.com) check it out and I will be anxious to see how you do :-)

      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?
