getting nervous
Many people get nervous at the point when the surgery becomes real for them. I think you have reached that point, and your emotions are very understandable.
But I have a question for you - is the surgeon you have listed really your surgeon? From what many have reported on this forum, he stopped doing the full DS a couple years ago, even to the point where a couple people who had dates scheduled were called with not much notice and informed that their surgery was cancelled. Now he just does VSG as a stand alone. So if you're planning a real DS, I hope he's either changed his practice or you have a different surgeon.

Larra,
as far as I know hes still doing the gastric bipass, and my husband has Dr. Schweitzer for his la[ band, we are scheduling to go about 2 weeks apart. I spoke to his assistant yesterday about getting involved in a medication trial and everything was ok. We had our last nutrition class today and nothing was said. If this dosnt happen I will be completely horrified.

Well, I think you confused me by posted your concerns on the DS forum, which led me to believe that you were planning on having the DS. I have no idea what Dr. S. is doing or not doing as far as gastric bypass and/or lap band are concerned, not do I know anything about any possible medication trials.
Since Dr. S stopped doing the DS maybe a couple years ago, we don't hear much of anything about him on this forum.
I hope your nerves will settle and that your surgery will go smoothly.

PS and yes, the people who were scheduled for the DS with him and had their surgeries abruptly cancelled were horrified, understandably. This episode left a very bad impression on the DS forum.
