I have a countdown running on my phone and I am sooo close now that I'm starting to get the jitters! I have been going through this process for 6 months and it felt like it would never get here!!! Any words of advise? I can't wait for my journey to begin...but I'm kinda freaking out...is this normal?

The anticipation really is the worst part of the process.

For me, making up my mind to do everything I was asked to do, even if I thought I couldn't really helped.

Best of luck. The time really did go by fast once I was rolled into the surgical theater. You will be fine.

      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?
