You feel how you feel. I was a little nervous, a lot excited, and a bit like out of body experience.

Your body is probably in shock from extreme nervousness, and it's making you think you feel nothing. Tomorrow you may feel overwhelmed and start feeling true nervousness. It will be ok! You'll do great!

The day before surgery I was mostly really nervous and scared. I was also recovering from a cold and I was worried that they would cancel my surgery (they didn't, my lungs were clear and I had no fever when I arrived the next day so everything was fine). I was more excited (and nervous and scared) on the actual morning of surgery. So maybe it won't hit you until tomorrow. Good luck, best wishes on your journey!

      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?
