Hello there!

I am awaiting my time to go through with my sleeve. I'm reading A LOT online, and I keep coming across posts saying there's a range of emotions. I am curious as to what everyone else has already dealt with. I will be surrounded by 4 children post op, and I want to make certain I don't lose it on them. How did you feel afterwards??

I have 3 boys from teenager to 10, I'm only 5 weeks post op but I'm so much happier, I feel great and had no complications which I'm sure made it alot easier. I also had a hernia repair.

Everyone is different but I believe it's how you make yourself feel so if you have a great attitude about the surgery your emotions will be great if there is any doubts then you might be emotional.

The only day I got emotional is when I saw a weight loss of 27 pounds in 4 weeks that's when I was emotional and that was excitement emotional.

I wish you the best of luck and remember happy exciting feelings and you will be fine.

I just had the surgery on 12-22 and I have 4 children ages 12, 10, 6 and 3. I think it's very important you have someone (husband, partner, friends, relatives) to help you at home. Otherwise you will be suffering having to do everything yourself and this could cause you to end right back in the hospital. Best of luck to you!

      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.
