I wish I'd done it sooner. This is my only regret

I honestly believe that where we're at is where we're supposed to be in life.

I'm also in recovery (7 years in May) from drugs and alcohol, so that helps keep my serenity where it needs to be.

So how was the park and how are you doing? Still looking forward to surgery day? I know I am, it's been so long it may almost seem anticlimactic but I still will be filled with joy![emoji12][emoji13][emoji12]

Good morning... she enjoyed the park as much as I did. I begin my pre-op appointments on Wednesday so its beginning to get real. Still battling the sugar demon. How are you?

Sinusitis which has persisted for close to a month. On my 4th antibiotic to try to clear it up. When I blow my nose and I do that fairly frequently, I think that Barbie woman was right--i am rotten inside. Ah but she was the only pile of bovine excrement I've ever,met on Bariatric Pal. Most people on here are beautiful people who are very helpful to everyone. Am I closer to surgery? Not really but the wheels are still turning but not with much speed. I have a 2. hour psych appointment at OSU with their staff psychologist Dr Kramer 10AM-Noon at Martha Morehouse Pavilion in Columbus. My PCP says to just act like my wonderful,self and things will be fine. What if they screw me over like the other program did? How,much sorrow and frustration am I supposed to accept? Since I completed all of the prerequirements from the other program will they accept them all? So many questions So few answers--- what next?[emoji31][emoji13][emoji31]

Wow! My process has been rather fast. I began in November with the nutritionist; had my psych evaluation, endoscopy and now getting the pre-op clearance from my PCP. I pray things go well for you and the sinusitis is cleared up soon.

      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.
