Hello everyone. ❤❤❤❤

I think everyone worries about having surgery - no matter what type. You just have to keep your eye on the prize. It's been the best decision I've made in my life to have RNY. Wish I had done it years earlier.

Same here. Just got my surgery date. On-and-off anxious feelings. I've been kicking butt in the garden, though! Anything to take my mind off it!

I am 1 week post-op.

before the surgery I was pretty nervous about the operation itself. stupid. that is hands down the easiest part. you won't know it happened and it's safe as can be.

what i should have been scared of, but wasn't, was the pain the first two days after surgery. i did not expect that. i thought i could tolerate pain but i was mistaken. just keep taking a lot of painkiller drugs!

i know it's hard not to be scared, but i wish i could go back in time and tell myself to chill bc it's nothing to be scared of. i can't do that, so i'll tell you instead.

i won't say good luck bc you don't need it. so i'll say instead, HAVE FUN!

      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?
