I have a surgery date. April 25th, which is next Friday, I am excited and a little nervous about the anesthesia. I can't believe it, everything has gone so smoothly for me that I feel any minute I am going to get a call and someone says "belated april fool's". Thanks for all your support!

Hey Milo

Just had my surgery on 6 April and all went well. Including my 1 week pre op milk diet I have lost 17lbs so far. Understand your concerns with being put to sleep but am sure you'll be fine. Is probably safer than crossing the road :thumbup: Anyway, best of luck, welcome to the journey!!

My surgery was march 14th and I was freakiing about the anesthesia. I told the anesthesioligist about it the night before surgery when he called, and he was happy to discuss it with me. It really put me at ease. Then when I got to the surgery center for my surgery, I was so busy signing papers, getting IV's, talking to the nurses, then the doctor, that I completely forgot to worry about anything. Once you are there, the wheels just go. Good luck, relax, you will be fine.

      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.
