Thanks for the responses I know I am doing it to better my life but sometimes the fear of the unknown sneak in and mess with your head but it helps to vent a little I do appreciate the kind words thanks again.

My surgery is just two days away and my nerves are starting to get to me.

Maybe it's time to do a "pros/cons" list. I bet you that when you get done the pros will FAR outnumber the cons. Do it and let me know how it comes out.

You've done the hard decision making. Now it's time to leave the details up to the professional that YOU chose to do what they have be trained and educated to do for you.

The waiting is one of the worst parts. There's nothing more that you can do--except wait. Keep busy. Be sure you have everything ready for your first day home. Have your house clean, have your liquids on hand and handy. Have the care of your pets taken care of for just a couple of days. Have reading material on hand. Try to find someone to walk with you . Not only is walking more pleasant with company, but sometimes after surgery some folks are a bit unsteady.

You got this! You know it. I know it.

Keep posting and venting. That helps some pre-operative nerves.

Take a deep breath and carry on with the carrying on!

I think everyone experiences this. Just keep the end goal in your mind for motivation to keep pushing forward

      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.
