Pret-op was the hardest part.

Once you are through that, you have the surgery and we get through it.

I guess my question wasn't clear enough. What all is usually covered at most pre-op appointments? I over think most everything and have untreated anxiety. So just trying to find out what happens at the pre-op appointments

I know all surgeon's are different but per the PA this is what will happen at my pre op appt which is a week before my surgery: During the pre-op appointment you will meet with a Nurse to provide instructions on when to arrive for surgery and how to prepare the night before, also Anesthesia, and Nurse Case Manager to be sure you have care for after you leave the hospital and myself. I will go over the bowel prep for the day before surgery and also the hospital course. You will have labs drawn to check your blood type along with your electrolytes and white/red blood cells.

I had my preop last week. Basically I bought the Protein shakes and Vitamins for my pre and post op diet. I also signed a lot of paperwork. The surgeon then asked if I have any questions, got my preop weight. I was told what to expect the day of surgery. The dr stressed the importance of walking after the surgery. I brought my mom with me, she had more questions than me which was good. Hope this helps!

      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.
