Getting this journey stsrted

[reaching high 19]

Had my initial consult with my doctor today! I'm excited. On my way over though I was thinking this could be the best decision I've made or the worse. I truly believe it will be the best!! I'm so ready for a change!!!

That's how I felt going in as well and now I am sorry I did start this journey when my doc first suggested it 3 years ago. Lol I am really looking forward to feeling better!

I am sooo bummed out! Finally got an appointment with the surgeon and I was getting excited but when I got home today had a message that they have to reschedule. I was so hoping to get my surgery date. I know all the hoops they put us through are worth it and I'm trying not to get discouraged but Yeesh!

I am still waiting on a surgery date ???? we had a bit of a set back (hiatal hernia). Doctor wants me to really think about whether the sleeve is the best choice for me. He feels that, because many people experience and increase in gerd (heartburn), that I should reconsider having gastric bypass instead. I am feeling very discouraged. Any advice?

Was sleeved on June 24. Never had heartburn or acid and I do now. Doc says it usually lasts small amount of time maybe 30 days. I take omeprazole once a day and it's tolerable

Doc said if I had regular heartburn he would do a bypass. But i never had it ore surgery

Thanks Jersrose43! This news makes me feel better. I will wait to see what the doc says and then decide. I was told this doctor prefers the bypass surgery and really pushes it but I've heard so many success stories with the sleeve.
