So I'm in a state of "nesting." I know I'm not having a baby [emoji23], but I want to be 100% focused on having a successful pre-op diet and post-op LIFE! My 13-yo son is on vacation visiting family for 5 weeks and I'll be having the surgery while he is gone (he does not know, nor does anyone in my family). Today I cleaned the garage, and organized some of the inside of the house. More cleaning to be done tomorrow! [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

OMG I am doing the same thing! Cleaning, organizing, throwing out clothes that are too big or I know I will never wear, organizing the clothes that are too small into groups by just how too small they are, ditching food I know I won't eat again. Feels great!

YES! Since my son is out of town and he will be eating healthy with me (whether he knows it or not lol) I've thrown away Cereal, chips, tortillas, Syrup, etc. My cupboards and fridge are so empty right now. Bags of old clothes that are too small but haven't been able to part with, and I've organized them so I can "shop" when I start losing without going broke lol. For someone who generally feels tired and in pain most times, I sure have a lot of energy lately [emoji23] I think my brain is just telling me to prepare for a major change. If only I could maintain this energy all the time... I probably wouldn't need surgery [emoji53]

I know but it is a great feeling, just shows we are mentally ready! When is your surgery? Mine is three weeks from tomorrow.

I'm nesting because I don't want to risk getting sick going out with surgery only 10 days away.

      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.
