So these past few days I have been so anxious. I started my liquid diet, 5 shakes a day, on Sunday. I feel good, I have lost about 8lbs since I started. But I can't stop thinking about surgery and how my life will change and it is making me so anxious! I am just so excited to start this new chapter in my life. My brother was a diabetic and had VSG 2 years ago and he looks amazing and is now diabetes free. So I know this works and I can't wait to see my results and really be able to look back and see the transformation. I am so humbled that I have a great support system in place and they are in my corner rooting for me.

I am excited for you. Just remember it isn't all sunshine and roses. It can get frustration. Try to keep your positive attitude and lean on your support network (including us) if you need to. Congratulations! And we will see you on the loser's bench very soon.

@Angiesweigh I definitely understand what you mean about anxious. My stomach is in knots every day thinking bout the surgery. You will get through this and this forum helps.

      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.
