YAY! Surgery in 5 days!



Recommended Posts

In a newbie here, but have been surfing the posts for a long time. I am 24 years old and I have been morbidly obese since I was 8. I have tried so many diets over the years and lost tons of weight only to gain twice as much back. I had finally given up on dieting and stayed the same weight without gaining for a few years. My insurance started covering lap band in January, so I have been working on getting my surgery approved since then, now it's finally here:smile: I have lost 11lbs so far on my pre-op diet and another 9 before that. I can't believe I'm already 20lbs closer to my goal and I haven't even had the surgery yet. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start having more energy to chase around my 34 month old son.

Thanks everyone for your support! I am 8 days out from surgery now and feeling great. I made it to the 30 lb mark. I am so proud of myself for sticking to it.

      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.
