Hi! from an excited noob



Recommended Posts

:party:I just got confirmation that my financing was approved and i am so excited!! But since this is something i don't want anyone i know to know about, i don't have anyone to share the excitement with.

I've read so much online and everyone seems so pleased with the results that i just cant wait to see a healthier me in the mirror. There are so many health problems in my family history and now that i am a few months short of being 40, it really scares me. I see my grandparents and now my mom too taking so many medications, its like a pharmacy in their bathrooms, i do not want that to be my future. I need to get my weight to a healthy amount so that i can do other things to improve my health. Its so frustrating to be out of breath from walking a distance that is not even equal to being one block.

Well, i am truly excited about this. I look forward to a healthier me.:)

      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?
