My surgery date is October 8th! I’m nervous and excited at the same time. I’m excited for new, healthier body and being able to do all the things I want to do. I have three boys (8, 4 and 2), and they are very active.

I started the liquid diet yesterday and I’m doing ok. But tomorrow is my middle son’s birthday party (he’ll be 5 very soon) so that will be challenging!

You will do great =) Keep with your routine and you wont notice the liquid diet. My surgery is Friday and while not looking forward to it, Im also excited to get it done and start fresh and new. I hate these liquids but I just do it and lots of water...You can have SF Jello at your sons party so that is a good thing =) Let us know how it goes =)

Teach those physical children not to jump on you while you recover from surgery. Good luck! You are not alone.

      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?
