Well today I booked my flights for my surgery. In a couple more weeks I will start my pre-op diet. In the mean time I have already started doing a liquid shake at Breakfast to help prepare myself for the pre-op diet.

I haven't been nervous at all about my surgery. A lot of people have asked if I am scared or anything like that and I just am not. I get some friends who will express concerns about my choice to go to Mexico for the surgery and I understand their concerns but I have full confidence in this surgeon and the facility there.

My biggest concern over everything is making sure I get the exercise that I need. I would hate to go through all this and then not exercise and not lose weight because of my lazy bum.

All in all one step closer and I am ready!

Hi Florida Pete:

I had my surgery in Juarez, Mexico and I do not regret it. I would do it again because I do not regret getting the band. I had my surgery on the 29th of August and I have lost 21 lbs.

Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

Thanks for the support okiechick! I have an aunt that had her surgery done by the same surgeon I am getting mine done with in Tijuana Mexico. That played a large factor in chosing this surgeon. I will keep everyone in the know of how things go for me! Come on Dec. 5th! :eek:

      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?
