I wanna thank you all for being here for me during this time in my life. I really dont know if i couldve gotten through these last 4 months without it, because this has been the hardest

thing ive ever had to accomplish. I had my pre-register appointment yesterday and saw my dr also. Ive been on my 14 day pre-op diet and ive lost another 22lbs. So on the morning of the 4th, i weigh again and get my final weight before surgery. I thought the 14 day with just Clear liquids would be harder than it was, but it wasnt. After the 3rd day, i was fine. I dont own a scale but i knew i had lost more than i thought because my knees didnt hurt while

running behind my granddaughter.

What i have learned over these past 6 months is that everything is really a mind thing. I really dont need to have the 2nd scoop of ice cream, but i want it, so ive learnt to live with just the 1 scoop and im satisfied.

I hope that my surgery goes as smoothly as these last 6 months. I was told yesterday that i have a hernia that he'll repair while im in surgery. And that he may remove my gallbladder. Can anyone that has had a hernia repaired and gallbladder removed tell me if that made the recovery harder or no. He said that i would have 6 places where he's going in, i usually see 4 on everyone else. Idk, im just ready to get it over and on to the next phase. Have a great day guys. Cant wait to join the losers bench

I am glad your surgery day is getting closer!

I did not have a hernia repair or gall bladder removal, so I can't help there. looking forward to seeing your progress!

      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?
