I had my surgery 12-17-15. The one thing I wish someone had told me was how much it would hurt to get out of bed, sit up, get in bed, adjust myself or sit on the toilet. The most important advice I can give is bring a pillow or stuffed animal (I had a pillow pet) something you can use to hug at your stomach area when you are getting up and down. That was seriously the greatest thing for the days and weeks after surgery! It puts just enough pressure but not too much! My first day I was so miserable so they brought me that and it was totally different. It helps so so so much! Game Changer!

(I am sure I will offend someone by saying this, but I just can't hold it in. Every time I read the title of this post, I think to myself 'that's what she said.' Giggle.)

And, THAT makes you my new best friend *giggle*

      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.
