Hi. I just had my surgery 2 weeks ago today, 9-8-09, and it was one of the easier surgeries I've had. It's a breeze compared to knee surgery. I think it's probably normal to be a tad nervous anytime you are preparing to let somebody carve on your carcass, but to me, the anticipation is always worse than the actual surgery. You'll do great I am sure.

I'm having surgery on 9/24 too! I'm so nervous and excited I have butterflies! Now its crunch time, getting things together for after surgery. Just filled my prescriptions today and will be going shopping for liquids to drink post-op!

Good luck girl we'll do great!

Thanks-I'm sure everything will be fine too. Just got back from my pre op appointment and got all of my questions answered. I feel alot better now and am ready to get it done!

We have to touch base with each other periodically to check progress!!

Good luck!!:bored:

Nervous is very normal. I had my band 5 months ago and the day before the surgery, I thought about canceling it too. I am glad I didn't and I wish I've it done long time ago.

Good luck to everyone that is going to have surgery. Let's know how you are doing :tongue2:

      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.
