Tomorrow (Aug 25th) is the first day of my new healthy life!!!! I am soooooooo excited. I have an entire closet of "I'm going to fit into that again" waiting for me!!! :) I lost 11lbs on the pro op diet and I am in a great place emotionally - thinking positive is the only way. Thank you all for the great tips. Hearing the good and the bad is helpful.

Sending positive energy your way! I didn't sleep last night and I prob won't tonight either. The next few days will be interesting. Thankfully my Dr gave me all the meds to cover things that may happen (like GasX strips and anti nausea tabs). Do you have to give yourself the anti blood clot shots for 2 weeks? I do, and that is the only thing I am not looking forward to

No, no shots!! Thankful bc I don't think I could give myself a shot! I haven't gotten anything beforehand, I think he will prescribe based on what I'm feeling after surgery. Sending positive vibes your way as well! Here's to New Beginnings!!

Congrats on surgery! I too have mine tomorrow. I check in at 5:20, and surgery around 7:30. I'm nervous, I'm excited. I've been on full liquid diet today, and have been trying to prepare my home and hospital bag. I've found that Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with a little non-fat plain yogurt mixed in for Protein tastes pretty good. And after nothing but sweet Protein Shakes all day feels like I'm actually eating. Good luck to both of my fellow patients as we begin this beatiful journey to better health!

      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.
