The support is good



Recommended Posts

I love the fact that my family, friends, and coworkers have been super supportive... To the point where they have threatened to pimp me out... They took the time to learn about my surgery and kept me on track during my pre op liquid diet... I wanted bacon and they would not let me get it....I'm seating here thinking about how I kept so relaxed and never questioned my choose and it was particularly because everyone in my world from family, friends, and coworkers supported my choose not everyone agreed but they support it nevertheless.

3 and a half days left!!!!

@Idonerds I love to see this! Good for you, that support will be so helpful once you are post op!!!

I have similar support and when you have people in your corner routing you on it feels fantastic!! When I was waiting to get my 6 months done and I was wrapping my head around stuff I didn't think I would share what I was doing. But as I did I found such support I wondered why I didn't do it sooner.

I know on these boards I read sometimes how peoples immediate family members are not supportive and sometimes downright horrible, it breaks my heart. This is a HUGE journey we are on, there are ton of roller coaster emotions you will go thru, having someone to share it with to support you is awesome.

Good luck with your journey, cherish those that are supporting and loving you!! You got this girl!!! :D :) :D :)

@@Idonerds So glad to hear you have a fantastic support system! It is very encouraging. I also encourage attending bariatric support groups. I love talking and sharing with others who've had the surgery. I love talking on here, of course, but meeting so many wonderful people in person is very motivating also.

Best of luck on our surgery and keep us updated!

      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?
