Good luck and blessings! I know you're scared/excited/nervous but it's going to be fine.

When I had mine done the hardest part was waiting (i was bored and anxious to get started even with my husband and mom to talk to). Once they were ready for me, I remember the nurse putting something in my I.V. To help me relax. Then they rolled me into the operating room.

I felt fine. The last thing I remember was the nurse patting my hand and saying "okay we need you to place your arms here so they're out of the way while the doctor works". I nodded and watched as she moved my arms.

Literally the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery all warm and snuggly (and sleepy!.) i imagine that's what a newborn feels like. Lol

      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?
