Good for you! I remember being fearful of the scope- and it was so easy. Now I am 4 days from my surgery and it has all gone very quickly. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? If so, when does it start? When will your surgery be?

I am so thankful that I did not have to do this. I wonder why they make you do it?

I meant the endoscopy. I had a 10 day liquid pre-op diet and I understand the shrinking the liver piece but I don't understand the endoscopy.

I had my surgery on the 24th of Feb. I did the EGD probably 3 weeks before my surgery. They were able to detect a bad bacteria called Pylori and I also had a hernia. I think that's why they do it. I was on medications for 2 weeks to get rid of it. I think that's why they do it, also for a piece of mind.

      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.
