October 2nd surgery date!



Recommended Posts

I’m almost a week away from surgery! Extremely ready and excited! I’m 26 years old and I’m just beyond happy to start this new journey.

I guess what brought me here is this: last night laying in bed I asked my boyfriend if he had faith in me through this process. After a LONG pause he basically said “maybe”. He’s apologized this morning but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the closest person to me doesn’t really think I’m going to do a great job.

Just looking at all of your positive thoughts has helped me stop being upset; so thank you! I hope it works out for me as it did for everyone on the posts I’ve been reading!!

Hi there, Im October 5th, liquid diet starts on Tuesday =( Wish I had food to eat during pre op but no chance of that. I think everyone has some doubts if they will fail or not, I know I do. Hubby is supportive in anything I do and hes watching me on this journey as he might get it done to if its successful...which it will be for ALL of us =) Keep thinking good thoughts we are here with you too =)

Good luck with your surgery. Use your boyfriend’s doubt and show him you can and will. It definitely isn’t an easy journey but so worth it.

It's great to have the support of your loved ones and others close to you but ultimately it's up to you to be successful. As long as you are confident and willing to make the sacrifices needed than that's what really counts. Don't let how others feel about YOUR journey affect your view on things. Lean on them for support but don't rely on it. At times this is not an enjoyable process but go into it knowing and expecting that so when the times come you've already mentally gotten past it. Even we're just words on a computer screen you'll have tons of support from everyone here. Good luck to ALL of you on your upcoming dates. YOU ALL GOT THIS!!!!

      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.
