I'm pre-op. I have another long couple of months to go with my nutritionist and nurse. I still need my psych eval, which I'm having a hard time setting up, and then need an ultrasound on my stomach. I know in my head that it will go by fast, but right at the moment, I feel like it is drrraaaaggggginnng.

yes it does seem slow but once you start rolling those appointments out time will move. ok just move on to the ultrasound and come back to the psych eval. nothing you can do about t he nutrition visits then can only be once a month but just keep doing stuff and stay on this forum and start eating good by cutting carbs and sugar now...

It totally doesn’t seem like time goes quick and then boom, here I am, 12 days to go. There is so much to do, learn, etc. I often felt time went too slow and now that it’s upon me, it’s going fast. That’s my nerves talking. Sometimes I wish it was faster, because there is all this time to be in your head and obsess. But it’s also good to learn and get all those tests and be as safe as you can. 3rd day liquid diet. It’s not easy, but I know it’s worth it. Already lost another 6 lbs in the first 3 days of liquid. Good luck 🍀 ☺️

      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.
