Just take your pain medications faithfully BEFORE you get into too much pain and you won't have any problems. Congrats on your surgery date. You'll be fine.

I too have a lot to lose but I'm in no hurry, my outlook is to just follow the post op food stages and become greatly aquainted with my new friend.

Just relax, remember your in good hands and when you wake up it will all be done and then the rest is up to you.

There's so much great information on this site so read, read, read.

That is the way that I am looking at it too. I am on my second day of the pre op diet and I am at times kind of testy. How long did it take anyone to return to work???

      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.
