Hello all!! Today is finally a week before my surgery and I'm so nervous. This has been a long over due process but this pre op diet has been killin me! I had a very small helping of chicken and i felt horrible but I'm going strong now it's hard because you never realize the relationship you have with food until you can't have any I think it's more of a mind thing and thinking about it. It's a process now I understand why one of the requirements was to see a psychologist. Your psyche has to be right this isn't my first time going through with weight loss I had s consultation when I was 23 but never went through now finally at 25 I'm mentally mature enough to handle what's to come if anyone has any motivational support or tips I'd appreciate the support thanks!!

Good luck! I had my surgery in December of 2012. One thing I remember prior to my surgery is I really wanted banana cream pie and boy if I could go back I would have at least tasted it. I weighed 315 and now weigh 135- 140 lbs. Please please make sure you buy yourself a gurdle. Take it with you to the hospital and put it on after surgery. No one told me about that and I finally had my husband buy one, I wish someone would told me about this. A couple post on at home my husband bought me one and it was the best thing ever. The pain was much more manageable and I felt secure with it on.

      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?
