So I was going through one clinic & they had more pre-op qualifications then I thought I could handle, come to find out this other clinic aren't asking for nearly as much so I will be able to have my surgery sooner!! I can't wait I am so excited!!! I started this process last year and was 3/4ths the way done all I had to do was lose 10% body fat and move on to the surgery!! However I got cold feet needless to say I had decided I wasn't ready!! But now I am super ready and I can't wait!!!! I don't have as much pre-op qualifications so it will be quick from this point and I am so happy that I am ready for this step finally!!

happy that ready for this step finally!!

@@Sleevie.Nicks

that is great

i've heard others get cold feet right before surgery

then they stop the process

no one should have this surgery if they are too scared, nervous

not sure of having surgery

so you stopped the plan for surgery

then after awhile you realized you really want to go ahead :)

sounds like NOW you are ready :)

keep reading the boards

you'll hear about lots of things you need pre-op and {PO)

discussions about things you hadn't thought of

questions will be answered

you ask your questions

make sure you are prepared for the big day :rolleyes:

read, read, read

look into some books

ie bariatric surgery for dummies

they also have a cook book

look at U-tube

flood of information allll over

buy Protein shakes

don't buy too many ahead of time :huh:

taste buds change

what you might like now

possibly you won't like PO :angry:

happy you "came to your senses" ;) and are proceeding with surgery

good luck :rolleyes:

There's a sweet release that can never be matched when you make the decision to proceed with surgery, and then realize suddenly one day that magically it has slipped over from possibility to reality!

You are well on your way to a whole new life full of promise and happiness. Never look back because your glorious future lies ahead!

      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.
