How do you feel about having doubts about getting the surgery, preop wise?

I reminded myself that it had been 18 years since I weighed under 200 pounds. No regrets!

My surgery is Monday and yes... I have had doubts. But I remind myself that is can not be worse than feeling poorly all the time. It can certainly not be worse to live longer. I remind myself that I am afraid of change. It's comfortable to remain the same but there is a reason I started down this path and I'm not turning back now. . I hope that helps.

Yea..thanks. As it becomes more possible, it also becomes more fighting. Tough to stay positive, and I really, really thank you all for your support.

My wife fell down a few nights back. Touch and go for a few hours, but she's gonna be OK. ,

When our own mortality slaps you in the face like that, you begin to question, and be afraid of everything.

I'm glad she is going to be ok. You are right about the slap...

But, such slaps can go 2 ways. They can make you afraid of the surgery, but they can also make you afraid to keep living the way you have been.

Each of us has only 1 life. We need to live it well...

      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?
