Brandie, good luck. I understand. I have 10 days to go and I am not sleeping and eating more than I should. My feelings are all over the map. But I look forward to getting rid of my diabetes and maybe sleep apnea. I look forward to being healthy. Monday I start South Beach Phase1 to shrink my liver and then the surgery is October 13th.

Good luck. I was honestly so happy to be getting the band I never spent an instant being sad or blue or saying "goodbye" to food...especially since my surgeon said once I've healed and adjusted I'll be able, most likely, to eat anything. I'll just be happy with less. Not everyone likes or wants SUPER tight restriction, and not everyone has issues with every food. So to my way of thinking, I'll be more free than I've ever been, not less so.

Hope you recover quick and feel marvelous!

good luck. best advise i can give is to try to just relax. it really isn't a big deal. remember also, you may kind of freak out a few hours before surgery and question your decision. this is normal. don't 2nd guess this late in the game. you made this decision for a good reason so just let the day go by and before you know it you are done.

      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?
