How about a show of support. It sort of feels like you have to be known or popular here to get responses. (Except for Donna, of course)

I am as nervous as I can be, and the waiting is killing me.

Stomach is just twitching and I have some fear of not waking up, getting an infection, etc.

I've been waiting for a long time to do this and now that it is here, I am questioning the decision. :think:confused:

I can't wait for it just to be over...

Good luck tomorrow! You will be just fine. You WILL wake up and then you will be on the losing side!

It is very normal to question your decision. I am 4 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

You'll do great! I've been banded 8+ months, and it's the best decision I ever made. However, the day before surgery, I wasn't so sure...so take comfort in the fact that nearly everyone has doubts, that's completely normal!

Hang in there, and we'll see you tomorrow in BANDLAND! Welcome!

You will be just fine. I had my lap band surgery on Oct. 5th just one week and 4 days ago. I feel great and you will to. I was extremely nervous about the surgery. I just lost a family member in Sept. when he went in for surgery on his kidney, so I almost backed out. I would say, make sure you know everything you can about your surgeon. You will be fine and you will be glad you done it. I lost 10 pounds in the first 6 days after surgery. Not sure how much I've lost now. I don't even own a scale.

Best of luck to you on your journey!!!

      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?
