I am so terrified, yet so excited. I started the 2 week liquid diet before my surgery on Monday. And I can safely say that I wouldn't probably be able to do it without my boyfriend and my friends cheering me on and being so supportive. Support for this huge step is such a necessity. I don't know how some people on here can do it without the support of their loved ones. I have joined Bariatricpal.com in order to be that support to others who need just a little bit extra motivation. I had Stage three Thyroid and Lymph-node cancer when I was 16. I played softball at Fresno State until my knees blew.. and than my whole body blew up. I miss being able to have fun and go out side and feel good during the day. The end result is so worth it you guys, that's what I keep telling myself.

Welcome, best decision of my life. I am also blessed to have a very supportive husband (who has lost 40 lbs eating my low carb post op diet). Would definitely be harder if I didn't have that support!! Good Luck, hope to see some before and after pics real soon!!!!!! Its normal to be scared and I found the 2 week pre op diet difficult but it is so worth it, as Im sure you know. Focus on the excited part that's what I did. Was I size 22 jeans and last week bought my first pair of size 14. Going to the beach, baseball games, concerts, walking,in the park; first summer I've enjoyed in years!!!!!!!! Feel free to message me any time. :D

      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?
