Two weeks from tomorrow is the big day!



Recommended Posts

This weekend I have been kind of emotional. It's finally seems real. I was at my oldest sons football game Friday night and I almost teared up. It just hit me, before the end of the season I will be able to sit more comfortably in the bleachers, dress in cuter clothes and be able to jump up faster when a big play happens. He is a senior and on senior night in November, when the senior players and parents are on the field being introduced, I won't feel so embarassed with the way I look. I am going to extend my life to watch all 5 of my kids grow up and watch them get married and have kids of their own. I lost both of my parents within 3 years of each other both in teir sixties and both with obesity related complications. Two weeks from tomorrow will be the first day of a new life for me!

Sorry to ramble on but I knew you all could relate.

      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?
