My surgery is right after yours (on Monday). I'm getting really excited and nervous as well. It's like a roller coaster of emotions.

A lot of the advice I've gotten is to walk walk walk as much as you can right after surgery. I just hope that I won't be too loopy and out of it after surgery.

I've also read not to over pack because a lot of people don't even use half the stuff they take to the hospital but I over pack every time I go anywhere, it's just what I do.


Where are you having your surgery done?

Yeah I walk usually 1-3miles depending on how much time I have. Yeah I am not over packing.

I am having my surgery done near monterray mexico. It's a 7 hour drive but I have a friend and 2 family members going with me.

GOOD LUCK!!! Yeah I just hope it goes well too and not much pain I'm a baby I'd admit. My friend went with the same doctor and she told me she didnt feel pain just like she had a ball in her stomach.

      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.
