Tomorrow is the big day! All I keep thinking is at this time tomorrow I’ll be a post-op girl. My nerves are in high gear though. I’m so nervous that something will happen at the last minute like all of a sudden I get symptoms of the bug going around where I teach or the doctor won’t like the number on the scale before surgery. I don’t know. I’m just all over the place. Of all things to be scared of from this surgery, I’m freaking out about the IV. [emoji23]

My bag is packed, and I’m ready! I’ll stop with the rambling now.[emoji23]

Good luck, I am 1 week post op and feeling pretty good. The worst pain was right after I went to the room.. it wasn't the incision pain, but from the gas. I got up and walked 20 mins after I went to the room and that really helped. I was doing great soon afterward. This has not been that bad.. I had 3 c sections and a Tummy Tuck and this has been the easiest surgery I have ever had. Prayers for you and a quick recovery.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m so glad you are doing so well. I heard the gas is awful.

My surgery will be sometime in December, and like you, it's not everything I have to do that has me it the needles that I'm terrified of. Do what I do, close your eyes tell the nurse just get it done done count down or say anything just get it in. I truly helps

      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?
