My husband is sick!!! Pray that I don't catch it. I DON"T want to postpone mine may 21 date. Grandson graduating tomorrow night. No, they didn't put me on a pre op. They didn't my friend either but did my daughter. They said it's your BMI? that determines that???

Quick side Question... How do you get your ticker to come out on each entry?

Where do you paste the link in order for that to happen?

2 days and counting!!!! who else feels like they're going to throw up at the thought of it??? I had to show my 7 year old the diagram this morning of what it is they're doing to me, poor kid looked like he was going to pass out. The best way to explain it to your kids, is that your stomach is going to be like an hourglass (use wizard of oz as example, when dorothy is locked up) They'll get it immediatly. a friend of mine used that trick to tell her 4 year old, and now when they eat dinner, her son brings a little hour glass to the table.

Hi, Mine is on Friday the 22nd. I am so excited and I don't feel nervous yet.:unsure:

I have been on liquids only since Sunday. I had my pre op at the hospital yesterday and with the surgeon today. They gave me the stomach soap liquid to start using tomorrow. Did y'all get that as well? I found out that my red toe nail polish is okay during surgery, just not blue, black or purple. I wear clear polish on my finger nails only. I will be staying overnight in the hospital. Anyone else? GB

I am with you all I am the 28th and in one way wish it would be here and over with in another not so much. LOL I am doing good on the pre op diet, dr wanted me to lose 10 lbs and as of today I have done that since my last visit, 14 or so overall. So I have 8 more days or so so I guess I can drop another lb or 2 in that time.

      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?
