Yes, I am having VSG on 4/2. Starting to get very nervous. i had dinner with friends last night who did not know about my surgery plans. They we’re not very supportive. One is a nurse and was really troubled by my decision. I was up most of the night worrying.

HI there....I am VSG on the 2nd too. dinner with friends? I wish....LOL...I have been on my pre-op diet for two weeks and one more to go! You are brave to tell friends - good for you. I have told my hubby (Obviously lol) and a friend who has also had surgery! BTW I am a Nurse, with many years experience, and did NOT come to this decision lightly (I was ALWAYS AGAINST WLS), so don't worry about your friend. Nurse or not, she likely doesn't understand.

Yes, it has been a long path for me as well. I am ready also. My surgeon called on Friday saying there was a cancellation for this Tuesday if I wanted to take it.that threw me for a loop, I am sticking with orginal date since I had all my family obligations scheduled around that.

Do not worry too much about your friend you made the decision based on your health. I feel as long as you have information you need to succeed then it’s no one else’s business.

      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?
