I have my pre-op appointment coming up on 3/7 and my surgery date is 3/9.. I am under my goal weight by a few pounds, but I am seriously freaking out about getting on the hospital scale and being overweight by a pound or two and having them cancel my surgery. I am not sure what to do besides staying on track. I can't not think about this.. It is terrifying! I've been working so hard to get to this point!

I am nervous because every time I weigh myself at home it's different than the scale at the doctors office... so while my scale at home says one thing... I'm unsure of what the hospital scale will say

I went today for my final consult and mt scale is 2/1/2 lbs different than theirs was. Just try and get a lb or 2 lower than thwy want. Today when I weifged in I was1 lb ligher than they wantedand they said nothing. If by chance u r a lb more than they want just say your scale said you were xxxx ( whatever weight they wanted)

      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?
