My surgery is scheduled for Thursday morning. I've been in a pre-op diet since last Monday and lost 10 lbs. so far. It hasn't been nearly as tough as I expected.

Tonight I had to present at an event and as I was walking out, there was a table with Cookies & refreshments. My coworker grabbed cookies, and without even thinking, so did I. thankfully my brain woke up and was like, "seriously? What are you doing?!" Thankfully I didn't take a bite - didn't even think, just acted out of habit.

WARNING: Lady parts issue ahead!

So I get home tonight and I just started my period a week early, TWO days before surgery. Anyone else have this happen? Is it a problem for surgery?

Quick weightloss can cause you to start your period. Mine did but luckily It finished before surgery day. I would just call your doc office and ask them what they prefer in circumstances like this. I promise you they have dealt with it.

      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.
