Feeling pretty overwhelmed



Recommended Posts

@@Shaunie I'm still waiting too. I have a telephone follow up tomorrow and will ask about switching from the Miralax to Milk of Magnesia which I am SURE will do the trick! I think if anything, that is what giving me the most discomfort. Glad you are doing so well!!! I feel pretty lucky, I'm up and around more than I expected to be!

Hi there, newbie here (actually this is my first post). I understand the difficulty in making this life altering decision. I also have been diagnosed with severe PCOS and even had a hysterectomy but still kept my ovaries. Unfortunately, the PCOS continue to be a serious problem so my doctor has recommended bariatric surgery. I have been reading all of the forums on here and trying to make the leap to actually starting the process. Well this morning I actually made the call and am going to a seminar on Thursday.

I am so nervous and don't really even know how to start, but we are in this together and we can do this!

      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.
