My anxiety is going wild right now with only 24 hours left to go until surgery.

Here is my question for those who have already had surgery... What is something you didn't know before surgery that you wish you would have known?

These message boards really prepared me for surgery... My surgery has gone as they have said it would. The only thing I wish I would have paid more attention to is head hunger!!! It's killer and real!!! It will set you up for failure, so be strong!

You'll be fine and try to relax by maybe watching a movie or two. Something light and funny to try to calm your nerves.

My surgery went just like I was told it would. The only thing I wish is that I consumed more fluids then I did while in the hospital because I had to stay for four days for IV fluids. That was the only problem I had and it was me not the surgery that caused it.

I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter in your life.

No one told me that I would have far sight vision for a couple of days after getting out of anesthesia, thought I would have to go get bi-focals when I was discharged from the hospital.

      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.
