I just signed all the papers and I’m waiting the be prepped. I so desperately hope that this surgery gives me a tool to help me control my overeating. I don’t expect to be skinny, I just want to be in control of food instead of feeling like it controls me. I’ve never had any kind of surgery and I’m scared of the anesthesia nd the pain but I’m trying to look at this logically instead of emotionally. 20lbs down pre-op, 80-90 to go. Here goes nothing!

phones. Yeah I have a couple but this is the one I usually use. Anyway things about my early recovery even I had forgot, funny how things melt and meld together,in your mind. This phone, and the,other, lower right button does different things, that's why my postings are fragmented Other phone is the Cap shift, this one Send. 😋 👌👎LOL, some days facing forward is all you can do!

      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.
