Hi Everyone!

This is my 1st ever post. My surgery is tomorrow 10-12-07. I'm having a hard time expressing my feelings. Maybe it's because this pre-op liquid diet is making me very irritable. With all my insurance woes and family obligations it's taken me a year to get to this point. Am I ready? My heart tells me yes:whoo:...

but my stomach... well that's another story.:think

Hang in there! You will be fine. I was an emotional mess too before I had the surgery. But I"m doing just fine and you will too!

I agree that the day before is stressful and you start to second guess yourself. If it took a year to get here, I am sure that you are ready as you would have bailed a long time ago! :) Good luck to you!

I had my surgery on Tuesday, October 9. 2 days post-op and I am up and about with minimal soreness, mainly when I get up from a sitting/laying position. I've had no nausea and my biggest physical complaint has been gassiness (I feel full of air). My incisions are really only sore if you touch them directly. I showered yesterday with no pain at all. I wish you the best!!

      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?
