Thank you! I'm very excited, but wow this is going to be a killer month. I just was offered a new job YESTERDAY, my mom is getting married on the 15th, pre op testing on the 17th and 20th, surgery on the 27th, reception for mom on the 31st!

My head is spinning! I have to start the pre-op diet on the 20th. I'm trying to get up the nerve to read through the instructions again!

Becca, that was neat that we got to experience a fill. I have 3 drs. visits of the 6 behind me with no. 4 coming up in 6 days. It would be possible, for me to have surgery in 90 days if all goes well.

I am looking forward to the loss, but dreading just a bit going through the process. At 60, I've never spent the night in the hospital other than at birth and I know this should be day surgery, and go pretty easy, still it's just a slight bit unsettling.

Seeing your video just makes it all seem kind of routine, though I know it's not. But it is comforting to see how smoothly the process went. I would have thought he would have let the local have some time, but guess that's not needed. Keep it up and I do hope we will see more posts from you soon.

Great news on getting a date! You're having surgery down in New Albany, or thereabouts, aren't you?

SydneyLouWho, where is your Indiana surgery?

I'm getting banded in Indy/Beech Grove at St. Francis hospital.

My surgery is at Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville. Still doesn't seem real this is happening. I started this process in January, and now I'm 16 days away!

      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?
