@@Erickah1 - that's pretty typical, being nervous.

Relax, follow your pre-op and ask your team any and all questions NOW. Write them down.

good luck!

When I started the 72 hour freak out, I found this post:

http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/195065-you-know-you-lost-weight-when/

It reminded me why I was doing this. You can do this when you have a clear goal. And getting your weight back to normal is a worthy goal.

Being sleeved June 8th totally nervous. Bitten my nails to numbs, catch myself shaking my foot, cannot concentrate at work very well. Hard time sitting still. Because I have a teenage daughter and I am a single mom had to make a Will that really brought it home. Oh well we will be okay right!? They do thousands of these around the country. Trying to stay in the moment thinking these are the last pre-op days, we will have new lives pretty soon. Good luck! Stay in touch.

I am being sleeved in 3 DAYS!!!! It is my last work day before surgery and I can't seem to get any work done.

Thank goodness my son is graduating tomorrow because I have been so distracted getting his graduation party ready.

It's surgery. Not without risks but staying the way you are is WAY more risky. Hardest part of the journey for me was my leak test (gross barium swallow). That and not being able to "stuff" my feelings with food anymore. But that's a good thing. I'm in touch with what I'm feeling now and owning and loving myself. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

I had the same restless nerves about the surgery until I had the Motility Test. If I can make it through that test the surgery is going to be a walk in the park. Good luck!!

      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?
