GM. I will look for it. I would love to join... it's nice to be able to talk about it. I really haven't told anyone what I'm doing. Is that wrong?

Hey can you see if I joined the group. It would nice to be able to talk to others who are having some of the same feelings as me and are having the surgery around the time I am. I haven't told anyone but my family and I need people positive people to talk to about this. Thanks

@@wilson06 Having mixed feelings is very very normal! I had them for sure. But now 6 months after my surgery I can say this is absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself!! My starting weight was 252 pounds and as of this morning I weighed 159.8.....I am now less than 10 pounds from my goal! I haven't had any complications, and not one minute of regret.

You will do great! I wish you the very best!

      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.
