Hey.. birthday month buddies as well as sleeve buddies, I love it! How are you doing with mental preparation? I have been at it for 3 months (insurance requires 6 months) and I seem to go through immense excitement phases.. currently going through one again, reading everything I can get my hands on.. watching testimonials... listening to people to are happy with it as well as those that regret it... very excited all in all!

OMG I am sooooo anxious. I find myself researching everyday and sometimes lay in bed thinking about it. Lately Ive been wondering about the fatalities and researching that, but I think I will be ok - just that small thought that creeps in your mind, ya know? I am about to watch testimonials from guys who have had it done. What are the common comments about the regrets, why do they regret it?

Well, my pcp's first comment was "one of my patients died 5 days after having wls... try getting that out of your head! of course turns out that patient had a ton of other issues which should have prevented her from getting surgery in the first place but that only comes out after you prod and ask. figures... One sort of has to believe they'll be OK, right?

i've found it very difficult finding testimonials of people who regret doing wls that aren't completely cuckoo... If you find any non-crazy reports of people could you share? most regret videos I watched are either too soon after surgery or the presentation style makes it somewhat difficult to take them serious but I have been looking. I especially am looking to hear from people 5-10 years out.

      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?
