OMG Its almost time



Recommended Posts

I started my clear liquid diet this morning. Finally having to start the diet is really making it set in that I have surgery on Monday!

This whole journey started with my PCM sending a referral to the surgeon in late Feb. Now suddenly here I am. I'm so excited and so nervous all at the same time. I'm mostly nervous because I am having my surgery while my hubby is still deployed. Timing wise with my daughters gymnastics meet schedule this is just when it needed to be. Now rather than in Jan or Feb.

My mom will be staying with me but, she is legally blind so it should be interesting (my dad will be transportation). My daughter will be staying at a team-mates house for about a week so her practice schedule isn't interrupted since her first meet is on the 7th. I even dropped off my fur baby this morning at the kennel just because he is 15 and I'm not sure he could get right care at home. All of these preparations are just slamming into me like OMG. I can't remember how much Protein. I can't remember all the Vitamins I can't remember jack so I'm searching through all of my documents to remember.

Anyone else feeling so all over the place like I am right now?

Hey lady! I feel & join you in your EXCITEMENT! I have a conference call with my dietitian on Monday (she wants to see my journal and help me with my first stage of the pre-op diet). I meet my supervisor and a few co-workers on Wednesday to go over my 3 week backup plan. Not telling them what my surgery is - don't need any judgment from work : ( Started all my Vitamins a month in a half ago so that's down packed now. Just a little nervous from reading the posts of the sleevers who crossed over in the last two-three weeks regarding the gas pain : ( NEVERTHELESS - WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS! What time is your surgery Monday? Will definitely lift you up in prayer and know your surgery will be a total success! This time next year we all will be posting AMAZING transformation photos!!!!

      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.
