Gastric Sleeve Coming Up 8/30/2016



Recommended Posts

I am beyond nervous and excited for the upcoming day. I have been counting down and been beyond prepared for this. I did 6 months of medically supervised classes. I finished my binder class which gives me all the diet plans and stuff for after surgery. But a part of me is so scared.

I'm scared this won't work. That my last resort for making myself health and now over weight will fail. Even if I follow everything to the letter. My best friend is having a gastric sleeve done right before me. But the horrible part of it is I'm worried she will get better results and I will resent her for it. Which I know I shouldn't because she's my best friend.

I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way. Before this point I lost weight I got down to 175 the lowest I have ever been. Then out of no where why I was eating right exercise 2 times a day it all came back and more. I'm now at 235. I count the days because I don't want to hurt all the time anymore. I want to be happy with my body and to be healthy. I'm getting married May of 2018 and I want to walk down The aisle in a fitted dress. Feeling great and happy. Being the perfect bride. I know I have to take it day by day but I'm a planner. I like knowing what will happen. And this, this is a big unknow for me. Has anyone else felt this way before. Any advice for me on how to get the negative thoughts out.

Mines 8/31/16 and I'm excited but so nervous with all the different postings. I just have to take the negatives out of my head and pray. I just don't want any complications. Pain I can handle

      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?
