Hi, I am booked for a Gastric Bypass on June 10th! I am very excited but sick with worry too! Would love to talk to anyone due to have surgery soon or who are "on the other side".

Don't make yourself crazy about the unknown.

Try the best you can to relax.

You'll do great.

These are exciting times for you.

You're doing a really great thing for yourself. You're doing this surgery to better your health and that's a wonderful.

I'm so glad that I did this surgery for myself. My health has improved immensely. From this surgery I know longer take 3/4 of the meds that I did.

My bp is great, no more diabetes, no more sleep apnea, no more high cholesterol.

It's so much easier to move around and to walk without lose of breath.

I wish you all the luck for your surgery.

Come back and let us know how you are doing often.

P.S. Your user name is that your name? The reason I ask is I'm a doll collector and your user name is the names of three dolls that were made by a famous doll artist. They were very cute trio. Any ways just curious.

      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.
