Hi all. My surgery is scheduled for October 16! It’s coming so fast. I’m excited and nervous! I’ve waited so long for this. I’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else and now it’s my time! Who else is out there that’s having surgery in October? I’d love to connect with you.

Thanks for checking in! Waiting to be discharged now. I had a rough time with the anesthesia and couldn’t keep anything down but it was better today. I had to be able to drink 60 cc of Protein Shake and 60 cc of Water for 6 hours. Now I’m headed home! Yay

Had my surgery on Monday. All went well. My biggest issue is I can’t eat sugar free food. The artificial sweeteners make me sick. I have this horrible taste in my mouth that I can’t get rid of! Makes me want to vomit. How is everyone else doing?

Just scrolled back to this to reminisce. My surgery was 10/22/18.. so it's been a little under six months and I'm down 94 lbs since surgery.. although I had a bit of a rough patch month three through five where I was eating alot I shouldn't have.. I've recently regained some semblance of control over my eating and am eating alot healthier. How are other October surgery peeps doing?

      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.
