Hi, Friends! I have my first meeting on Monday! I am a nurse and have had a nursing friend do the sleeve and another do bypass. I've picked both their brains and read so much. On the forum to learn even more. Appreciate everyone's openness to share personal information. I'm conflicted on bypass vs sleeve. I lean to sleeve BUT permanently removing 80% of my stomach kinda freaks me out. Anyone else feel that way? Also r/t acid reflux, I have experienced it but it's usually if I eat late, like after 10 pm. If I don't, then I don't. Would bypass still be preferred for me, if I make sure not to eat late? With the bypass, the thought of rerouting and a stomach the size of a walnut of plum kinda freaks me out! Anyone else feel that way? lol I have an impossible time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and being slim again and not having knee and foot pain! But oh, sounds so good. It is a journey for sure, and it began months ago but technically, it begins this Monday with my first visit. Oh, boy...
