I started my journey earlier this year. It's been along 6+ months, however in the past couple weeks it has flown right by. I find out when I have to be at the hospital today for my surgery tomorrow. I think this is going to be a long day for me waiting for them to call. Hopefully, I will be near the top of the patient list. If they go alphabetical... well I'm screwed. My last name start with U. ???? I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my life. There is so many things I want to do that I have not done before and things that I have done but I wanted you again only this time they should be a lot easier to do. I have a lot of support for my family including my 8 year old niece, who is one of the reasons I want to do this.

Don't want to be last but nervous about being first. That's funny, but understandable. Good luck and congrats.

@jayloui

after many surgeries - i've usually been lucky enough to have surgery early in the morning

doc has had his coffee, and is wide awake, waiting just for YOU :rolleyes:

arriving 6:00 am at hospital

you won't have hours to be nervous and scared

as far as docs sleep..............

how about running over with a sedative/sleeping pill ;)

glad you have support/especially from that cutey of a niece :rolleyes:

tomorrow is the start of your new healthier, happier, longer life :rolleyes:

good luck

I am lucky enough to have the first spot on my day. Arrival time 5:30am surgery to begin at 7:30. I agree early is best. Anytime I have had surgery I always ask to be first case. Good luck to you!

      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.
