@cut.the.vs My consultation is on the 30th as well. Maybe we will have our surgeries around the same time!

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

@nettyd My consultation went well. He went over my health history. I currently have hypertension and taking 2 meds for it. So I have to see a cardiologist next month. I have to do an at home sleep study as well. I have to take a class called baratric beginnings on March 20th. We also discussed my goals and realistic expectations with vsg. He answered every last one of my questions, comments, and concerns. How did it go for U?

@cut.the.vs My appointment went well. They went over everything with me and suggested the sleeve for me. I have to do one visit a month for four months with the dietitian. They said if I miss any appointments then everything starts all over. I have my Psych evaluation next month, I already have my gallbladder removed which they said is good. I don’t have to do a sleep study as of right now since I don’t have sleep apnea, they said they may make me do that but as of right now I don’t. They also advised me I will 30 days prior to my surgery and 30 days after I will need to stop my oral contraceptive due to blood clot risk or I could switch to the IUD which is what I’m going to do. I had my appointment for that today and should get that inserted in about two to three weeks. My dietitian also wants me to read a book called Intuitive Eating which I have started and it’s very interesting. I suggest reading that.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
