hi everyone. I had my preop appt with my drs office and with the surgery center today. :biggrin: talking with the staff at both offices eased my mind a bit, but I am feeling scared again now that i am home :biggrin: I think I am officially a worry wart. My banding takes place on friday and they told me today that I'm the first patient up in the O.R. sched for 6am.

Any last minute words of advice? Lol, I think I'm still looking for reassurance from those who've gone before me. Sorry :cool: but it really does help me to talk about it.

Thanks!

hey I'm the same way, a worry wart. Haha, hmm I had my surgery July 31st everything went good, til around midnight when I got sick and they gave me a pain med which is what made me sicker, but then she gave me nausea med and I was good, I also had to be at the hospital at 6 but at 6:50 had to wait a while to get ready and all that was out by around 8 maybe it's day 3 for me feeling better every day, my band was filled a little don't be worried (: stay positive

I was also the first surgery of the day. I was actually more reassured about that because I figured my surgeon would be more awake and less tired then he would be if I was his 3rd surgery of the day. Relax, enjoy the preperation of your new happier and healthier life. BTW bring a pillow for the ride home, so you can hug it when going over bumps. Good luck, keep us posted.

      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.
