The best bet is to take your pain meds, get some gas-ex strips (I loved the cinnamon, but the mint is okay too)

and just walk, walk, and walk some more. A heating pad around just in case might be good. Just keep a very positive attitude and you will fly right trough the surgery. Gas pain for a lot of people is unavoidable. That is the nature of Co2 in the body cavity. You will be a very happy person when you can belch like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds....

Be excited, be proud, your journey is about to begin :rolleyes:

      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.
