I'm in the same boat as you guys-surgery is on March 3rd. I'm excited, scared and nervous all at the same time!! I wouldn't say I'm having second thoughts, just want it to be here already so I can start recovering.

I never allowed myself to second guess cuz I would probably have done the same thing. I made up my mind and did it. Smiling the entire time knowing I was eventually not going to be fat anymore.

Good luck!!! The first few days or even the first week or two can be tough as you adjust to the restriction, especially with your swollen tummy. But it will pass! In time you and your tummy will adjust, and you'll soon discover the new, healthier you! I had tons of trouble getting Fluid in, but those sugar free Popsicles were my life line. Keep us posted!

Isn't it crazy... day two you feel like there is NO WAY you can imagine tomorrow you could feel better... but you do! I am a week in a half out and everyday I feel better. That's great news. Glad to hear you are feeling better :)

Do you notice on of your incisions hurts more?? Its the one where they pull your stomach out of. They do must of the 'work' at one incision site. My doctor used just steri strips on all the puncture sites but the bigger one (the aforementioned one) he put a couple dissolvable stitches in. That one bugs me the most. If you have adhesive tape marks lil nail polish remover will get rid of that.. the acetone will melt it off you. My belly is so itchy from the incisions healing.

      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.
