So I started this journey in November 2018 and finally received my surgery date on June 28 for September 19 I’m nervous and excited to start this new life journey.
Congratulations!!! I know about Nervous and Excited simultaneously! [emoji1]
We'll do fine, dreaming of all the possibilities of what weight loss will bring.
Good luck on "the" journey.

And well you should be, but I will Celebrate my First Surgiversity on September 5th, more than 125 pounds smaller, a rocky at times journey, it wasn't EXACTLY sunshine, roses and songbirds singing, but WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? GirlFriend, in a HeartBeat of my now 73 year old ❤, not certain it might now NOT be beating WITHOUT the surgical intervention. So I do still BLESS my RNY, my facility, the OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL-WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER in Columbus Ohio, my wonderful surgeon Bradley J Needleman MD who took the chance to improve my life even at THAT AGE, I am extremely lucky, most programs would have permitted me to die obese, in daily pain and knowing all hope had expired. Oh I will always have the Arthritis I was blessed with at 25, 2 replaced knees as well as other joints that required surgeries, but I now move sweeter, smoother and without constant tears in my eyes. And that is its own ✌ victory! So I am here trying to serve my Lird, serving as a hopeful example, mentor Newbees when I can and keeping on keeping on. Oh my life still has its flaws but I have been forgiven and so I treasure Each and Every Day!

      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?
