New to site..Pending approval..



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. My name is Amy & I have just strated the process. I have been to one overview class & had orientation on Sunday.

Pending approval, I hope to get a call to see the surgeon within 2 weeks. I am nervous, excited & unsure of what to expect.

The thought of surgery TERRIFIES me. I am definetly not the person who is looking for a 'quick fix' I am looking for something that will change my lifestyle. And help me to enjoy a more quality life.

I tend to say I am overweight by 'default' LOL Because I do eat healthy & workout. I didn't get this way on junk food, or laziness. So that alone makes me wonder if this will even work for me.

I weighed in on Sunday at 277.7...OMG I can't believe I am typing that *ponders backspacing*

We were told at orientation that we needed to find a support group before our surgeon visit. My initial thought was I didn't need to. However with a 1/2 way not so sure not so supportive boyfriend, I think it is best. I already found comfort in reading many stories on this site.

I guess that's all for now!! Good luck to all!

Amy

      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?
