I have not been nervous....yet. I am not looking forward to the gas pain afterwards, but other than that, I feel pretty good. I am on my pre-op diet now! So I hope to drop 10 lbs before the 14 days is up. I picked up a few things at the store today for my pre-op and post op diet. Next week I will get the rest of my post -op and focus on packing!

I wish we could do more when we are in Mexico, but with the travel advisory we will be staying close to the Marriott. Oh well, maybe next time we are in Mexico we can see more and shop.

Nice to meet you and thank you for posting to my intro! It made me feel welcome!

I really like Omaha. The winters here can be a bit ruff, but all the same it is a great place to live. Thanks for the welcome!

      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.
