Maxine, I am new to this also! Surgery terrifies me but I am no longer willing to be overweight. Somehow everyone seems to still be here to talk about it!

Welcome to LBT Maxine! It's only natural to feel all kinds of emotions before surgery. Try to read everything you can about it before your surgery. It made me feel so much better knowing more ahead of time.

Thank you all for the support- I feel much better knowing that I am going to have people to talk with that understand.

      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?
