Hello!!

I am on the last of my pre-qual visits and then the doc will submit for approval so I'm looking towards the end of September, hopefully.

Would love to chat with local people! Let's help each other through this!!

Best to All,

Terri

Both of your surgeries are soon! How exciting...how are you feeling about it? I was home today organizing my Bariatric folder and it's hitting me that I'm really making this huge change in my life and it's kinda freaked me out.

I have just cut my calories. I am using Protein Shakes and eating small portions. I am hungry but I hope after surgery that I won't be. I also didn't feel that I was losing anything until I stepped on the scale.

      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.
