Hi everyone. My sleeve is tomorrow morning and I am so nervous. I know this is going to be the best thing for me and my health. But I am so scared something will go wrong. Is this normal?

All of that is very normal. They made me walk to my operating room and it took everything I had in me to walk into that OR. You'll do wonderful!

Mine is in 2 weeks and I feel the same way! Starting the pre-op diet today made it very real. I know it's the best choice for my health but it is scary!

What?!! They made you walk?!!

Yes! I was so horrible. They put me in a pre op room without a bed, chairs only. Then they gave me my IV, made me take my pregnancy test, told me to say good bye to my husband, and off we walked to the operating room. I had to climb on the table and everything. Very odd, and intimidating.

I have the sleeve and it was done at a local hospital in Baltimore area.

      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?
