Recommended Posts

I am so excited and frightened, tomorrow is my surgery and i still cannot believe that this is what i am doing. It will be outpatient. Any advice for pre and post op (yes ive been reading over the boards but want a single thread here i can refer to)? Any calming words of advice?

Your work for now is done.

Take a deep breath and do-------absolutely nothing.

You have done the really hard part. You have recognized your obesity. You have taken responsibility for it and have acted. You have read , researched, listened and learned You have jumped through the hoops. You have done the pre-op diet. You completed all of the pre-op consults.

Now it is time to "let it go". It's your surgeon's turn to do his part of your bargain.

So, for tonight-- do-----absolutely nothing except get some sleep.

And tomorrow? It gets real.

Meet you on, "The Losers' Bench".

Now, GOOD NIGHT! :)

      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.
