Well after 6 months of doctors' shrinks, and insurance company hell tomorrow is the big day. I don't know if I am scared, excited or just plain numb. I don't expect a miracle. I am just hoping for a path to better health and less worrying about what I can wear or what I can do. :)

Got home late yesterday afternoon. Pain is controlled with Loratab and ice pack on the incisions. Mainly the port incision. Feeling kind of weepy and sad. Not sure why perhaps so far to go still. two weeks of Clear liquids plus Protein drinks (2-3 a day) not easy to find 20 plus grams of Protein and under 120 calories in a can format. Any suggestions?

      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.
