Help! I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I was so excited after so many months of preparing and so many years of deciding. Suddenly I am scared scared scared! I read someone's blog about their experience right after surgery... 😟 BIG mistake! deep breath...

If you're only a day away from surgery, it's time to stop doing research. Stay positive! The chances of something going wrong are slim. I was super nervous going into my surgery also but all was a breeze! I wish you a speedy recovery!

I just went through it 7 1/2 weeks ago and everything's okay. No infections, no leaks, no Constipation, no pain, no anything. You'll be fine. Take care and good luck tomorrow.

Just wanted to thank everyone who responded to me in my panic. It helped to ease my anxiety a great deal. It is now day 4 post-op. I'm back at work! I know not everyone will have the same experience but I had a great hospital staff. I woke up with some pain which they quickly took care of. As soon as a little nausea set in, they quickly took care of that. They all really helped to keep me pain free, nausea free and hydrated. I am so grateful to the staff at RWJUH in New Brunswick NJ, Dr. Antoine, and to all those on this forum who responded to my "fear and anxiety" post.

Good luck to all of you who are waiting for the surgery! All I can say is let your doctors and nurses know right away if you're uncomfortable and listen to your body. I'm looking forward to joining all the losers! 😀

      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?
