Just wanted to say Hi All! I'm new to this app and to the Bariatric journey. I'm still in process of trying to get my sleeve. Hoping it happens this summer! I joined here in hopes of making friends and support from those that "get it" :) and who knows maybe click with a special someone! Dating just got a lot more complicated with this whole thing lol. So, any and all advice/suggestions about surgery, life, whatever... are more than welcome!

Hi! I’m new here too. I just had surgery Wednesday. Good for you for joining early. I’m not the most knowledgeable with the hands on (yet), but I’m also a RN. I wish you all the best as you wait for surgery!

I feel I'm pretty ready for everything coming my way. I have been slowly making the changes for a few months now. It will be awesome to actually get a pay off of my hard work after surgery and see real results

And CLee you are going to be a success story, I feel it in my bones. And since I've had arthritis since 25 my tired old bones have felt a lot. Onward toward surgery --'I'm marching right along side of you!

Great attitude. That mindset well go a long way for you! And yes, seeing the results is an awesome payoff. I live it everyday in clothes so much smaller than I ever wore. Still hard to believe. Good luck!!

      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.
