I'm super nervous about getting this done but I know I need it to get my surgery and it's the last thing I need to have.... I've never been put to sleep by anesthesia and im freaking out!!!! Am I making this a bigger deal than what I need too!!!?? And then my doctor tells me no need to panic it's the same drugs they gave Michael Jackson but you will be supervised and also it's like us putting you in a comma!!!!! WTH ????????????????????

I had mine last week and was completely knocked out under general. It went by like a breeze. One minute I was chatting with the nurses in the OR while they prepped me, the next minute (or so it seemed) I was waking up in recovery and feeling great.

I had mine done this morning. I remember being prepped and answering a ton of questions, meeting with the Dr and the anesthesiologist, being rolled into the procedure area, talking to the

Nurses, feeling VERY sleepy and then waking up in the recovery room. I felt NOTHING.. Lol

      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.
