I have my pre op day in hospital tomorrow and hubby is coming with me, even though he's squirming about it even now lol (He's not very good on the medical side of things). I have had my bloods, urine and poop checked already through my GP so tomorrow is just meeting the team and seeing the private part of the hospital I will be in on the 23 of July 2015. Going tomorrow is making it all the more 'real'. I'm not sure I will sleep tonight.

We are going out Saturday night to the theatre to see a play but before that we are off for a meal and champagne to Celebrate the start of a new journey in my and our life together. On Monday I start an 18 day pre op liquid only diet. I have been good recently, not over eating, not eating any rubbish and have lost a bit of weight already. I don't know if the feeling in my tummy is excitement or nerves.

What did you do before the op to signal the start of a new journey, if anything and looking back is there something you had wished you had done? Suggestions please, after all I have four days of debauchery left ;-)

      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?
