Hi everyone! I am Kim and new here, although a long time lurker.

I read forums all the time, I want to know the good, the bad and the ugly. All the possibilities.

My surgery is scheduled for Marsh 21st and I am so excited. I am not a bit nervous yet but I know once it gets closer I will be freaking out.

I am so dedicated to this process, I have done months of research after years of convincing myself that I don't need this.

I have lost over 100 lbs multiple times, I have high expectations for myself that this will be the LAST TIME!

Thanks for listening!

I kind of feel like the prep, surgery, and recovery are like having a baby. There’s a lot of thinking and planning all for one event that lasts a couple of a few hours, then recovery for a few weeks. The tough part is raising “your child” for the rest of your life. It can be as fun or boring as you make it.

      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?
