Recommended Posts

Hi All

So excited :( :grouphug: :frown3:

I had my consultation early feb and was weighed etc & due to work

committments could not have surgery until mon 28/04/08.

I must confess & after consultation went 'food crazy' saw it as 'last

chance saloon' & ate lots of rubbish :lol: (there confession over!)

So was really worried when went back for pre-op tests would weigh

more than I did in feb...but I have managed to pull myself back & been

on low-fat pre-op diet for 3 weeks & now weigh 5 kg less than in Feb. :biggrin2:

I consider monday as my new birthday & can't wait to stop my life

time of obesity...

Just thought I would share my thoughts & joy & is it normal to be

this excited?

Congratulations, Gingercat! I am still pre-op, so can't say if your excitement is natural from personal experience, but I would think it is. I hope I feel the same when it's my turn!

Good luck and post as soon as you feel up to it!

You know there is power in words... and when u said that "You will consider monday as your new birthday" A light bulb went off and I am there right with u. Turning points in your life are always marked with a date. Who says you can't have 2-birthday's.. ahhh I love it... and congrats...:(:thumbup::grouphug:

      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?
