I've made up my mind....



Recommended Posts

No more worrying what others think about my having surgery to lose weight! I made the contact today to set up my consultations with a nutritionist and surgeon! I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin. It's ridiculous! It's time to take charge of my own life! I hope I stay this excited! I know it's normal to have some apprehension, but I'd do it right now if it was possible! LOL!

good for you!!! i did the exact same thing. me and a friend i work with went to a seminar and made up our minds and we signed right up, within a few weeks we were on our way to surgery, had it june 25 the same day, we work together and it helps to have someone to talk to about everything you are going through. good luck with it...i am in my last days of puree foods, going to see the doctor friday, and then i'll be on whole foods. i lost 23 lbs between my first visit and when i went to have the staples out, and it's been 2 wks since that visit and i thnk i'm down another 3-5lbs and the band hasn't been tightened yet...not sure when he will do it. i'll find out more friday. GOOD LUCK, the surgery was nothing!!! now the hard work comes!!!

      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.
