They give you good anesthesia to put scope down throat.I'm having mine next week.

My life is an open book. I have told work, friends and family and have received nothing but support. I plan on using all of them post op as a huge support system. I feel very lucky.

Welcome. There is a lot of great stuff on this forum.

Good luck!

Best of luck!

Had first NUT last week. Next week is psych.Very excited. I am 5'10"and 308. Hoping I am actively losing as I type. We are on this journey together.

I think we all have to be careful if the naysayers. Somewhere in a tiny place in our brain is a negative thought and these people can pull the trigger on it. They only mean well, but I am learning to stop listening. (Very hard)

I second all of the above. I went to seminar sure of Roux-ny. Reflux and chance to lose the most weight. Didn't have it yet but still feel that I made the right decision.

@@toasty welcome to the "it's normal to be crazy club". Lol I will be excited to hear of your experiences post op. Well, excited and nervous and happy and scared.......????

@@Cervidae Thanks. Nice to know my crazy is normal crazy. Lol

I just had first surgery appointment last week and I am, like, excited, scared, ooo, back to excited, anxious, blah blah blah. Feel like I am literally feeling 12 different feelings an hour.

Congratulations!

Thanks Nikikins...this is a great forum for support and comradery.

I have first surgeon appointment September 2. Very excited to start process. I am sure I want Roux en Y. I am 5'10" and weigh 300lbs. I need to lose 130 -150 lbs. I just can't wait to get the ball rolling. This is a great platform for posting the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes us understand that, while we are starting on a great journey, there will be a few bumps in the road. And that's ok. Love reading the posts.
