Just got my surgery date



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone this is goldson1 from SC and I just got my approval and surgery date. April 30th. I am scared witless, but I don't know why. I have been researching this procedure for over 2 years and I know it's what I want to do, but when the nurse gave me my surgery date, I started crying like I was on extreme home makeover and someone said "move that bus!"

I have been visiting this site for about 6 months now and I love all the good vibes, and positive encouragement you guys give to each other. I also like how if someone starts getting lazy and slipping, you guys give them what for!

I look forward to talking and listening to you all.

Thanks

:tt1:

congrats on your date I have got my date too it's the 18th of April. I didn't cry I was very excited and had the biggest smile on my face when my doctor gave me the date. I think once I get closer to the actual day I will start to get nervous.

      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.
