I am home after having sleeve on Wednesday, after being stuck in the bed all day I asked the nite RN to take off my machines for awhile and let me go walking, it made her laugh when I took off down the hallway across the hospital in my town and boxer briefs, also asked my DR. To let me come home yesterday since I was off all my machines and ready to start doing for myself, my wife has been a wonderful motherhennish type of girl, don't get me wrong the pain is there but a lot better than at the hospital, and I slept all nite here, I still have yet to experience the "buyer's remorse" maybe cause I psyched myself up too much, I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds for me, this is very exciting, and I can't wait to put everything I've learned into practice, to all potential future bariatric surgery peeps, the answer is YES! I would do it again in a second !!

Oooohh beware the buyer's remorse. Im not in for my op until august, and i am paying privately also , so i hope i dont get the buyer's remorse. Lol. I think im going to prepare myself for that by writing myself a letter, to myself before surgery explaining why i am doing this and how its going to change my life for the better. And on that day when or if it ever comes, i am doubting myself if i made the wrong descsion and have blown all that money for nothing. I will open my letter to remind me of why this is so important to me and motivate me to make the most out of this amazing opportunity to a happier and healthier me.

      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.
