I'm going to start the pre-op 2morrow. I am very nervous it's coming down to the wire. I have been looking at clothes and forming a wish list for closthes I want whenever I wanna snack. No more food for awhile ... LOL since I will only be on liquids after surgery. I need help I'm scared and I want to know how you all survived your pre-op. I need a smuch support as I can get ... my family is supportive but they kinda don't care ... they just think it's my "lastest diet" that I'm trying LOL since they are so used to me being on some type of diet anyway and never following through with it. But what they don't know is how discouraged I used to get when I would not see results and work my ass off. But I am determined to make this band work I will show their asses (i hope) I still have that thought in the back of my mind now that I will fail this. Cause of all the other times that I have failed. Now since everything is set in stone and I signed all the paper work yesterday. I don't know how to feel. I hope I don't die. And all the scary complication stories here. Just need some help anyone out there :) Thanks for letting me share! Apples!

      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?
