Hi all got my date for surgery Aug 22, Im getting so excited. Hi Chick hope your surgery went well yesterday. Let us know how your doing. I start my pre-op diet Aug 8 for 2 weeks, slimfast shakes for 3 days and add a small salad with fat free dressing for 10 days. Keep telling myself I can do this I can do this, but never liked the taste of slim fast. I will grin and bear it though. Im telling myself this is temporary and I will have more choices later on. Good luck to all.:)

      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.
