Yay, contrats! I haven't had my pre-op yet. I'm scheduled for the 21st for my pre-op. From what I hear, it's about 2 weeks prior to surgery.

I truly believe that if you go into your surgery with a positive "can do" attitude, you've got half the battle won. Thinking positive and telling yourself everything you "can do" instead of what you "can't do", will carry you a very long way.

Best wishes and speedy recoveries to all you beautiful ladies!

      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.
