I all, very nervous my surgery is in a few days. I have been debating this surgery for 5 years. I want to do this whole process the right way. I'm giving this surgery to myself for my 54th Birthday. I'm really scared . I have never gone on a liquid diet ever. I look forward to food. The unknown scares me but, I am ready to start living.

Good luck to you. I'm 3/14....kinda surreal after waiting so long! Change your perspective, 10 yrs from now if you don't go thru with the surgery how would your quality of life be? Just weigh your pros and cons. Good luck!

Hi all, I'm getting sleeved 3/26 and am feeling just as nervous as you. As you said I think it's the unknowns. However, everyone I have spoken to has said that regardless of their trials and tribulations they would do it all over again so I have to believe I will feel the same. Hope that helps.

Good luck! You get to look forward to a whole new life and perspective. That's what I tell myself when doubt creeps in. I am getting sleeved on 3/28 and it can't come soon enough. I'm aiming to be fit by 40!

      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?
