I'm 5 Days Post-Op!!!I I can't believe it's done - It's been such a whirlwind.

I had so many doubts up to the very last minute - I have no regrets now. It seems like it was all a little easier than I expected. (Thank G-d!)

For the months leading up to my surgery I read everything I could possibly find on the internet and on this site for hours everyday. It really helped me to know what to expect at every turn.

I also can't believe how much everything I did and was told to do before the surgery really mattered. Every Protein Powder I tested, every baby utensil I bought, the chap stick I brought to the hospital - each and every thing mattered and helped me come home to this new life.

The only thing that was hard to prepare for is the dramatic change in my life that I felt as soon as I was home from the hospital. It's daunting, but I'm digging deep to handle what this week, and the six 6 weeks in total, and everything thereafter will require.

I can't believe I have a sleeve!!!!!!

      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?
