Third times a charm, surgery in 6 days, need a mentor



Recommended Posts

So in short, my story is: Lap band in 2005; gastric sleeve in 2008 and LAST surgery, Bypass scheduled for 9/14/15.

Been pretty tough on myself because of the past but still forging forward. Life is short, I don't want to have regrets with anything - so here's to finally working at it.

would love a mentor.

thank you

You do what is right for you, and leave the past in the past. I wish you all the best. :) I had my RNY on August 17th, almost exactly 3 weeks ago. Feel free to message me if you ever want to talk.

I read something the other day that really spoke to me because I'm really hard on myself. It said, the past is just a story now and as soon as you realize this you can let go and live in the moment and look ahead. Good luck!

What do you feel you need guidance with? How much are you looking to lose? What are your expectations going in?

      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.
