yep I say never to late. I will be banded on 1/28/10 in Idaho Falls, ID...It seems that the older I get the wider...I get and all of the problems that come with it. hip, knee replacements. Told I was diabetic two months ago. high blood pressure with high cholesterol..you can say I am falling apart. But, this is my start of all things better....well at least as better as I can get them.

Thank you all for such great info. I am a self payer, so I better make this work or my husband will never let me live this down. But he is supporting me to the hilt....

Can anyone tell me what the physic evaluation is all about?:rolleyes2:

Hello and welcome to the site . . . I'm fairly new here and still finding my way around. For me, the psychogical portion included completing a very lenthy "exam" type thing, multiple choice with subjects dealing with all the emotions, scenarios, etc. that you could imagine....then spoke with the doctor a while and went back for a review of the results of the paperwork. He then wrote an evaluation that was submitted. So apparently, I'm not too off my rocker, so it was approved. My insurance covered it, so that was good.

Good luck on your journey, and there's so much info on this site that will be helpful . ....keep in touch with your postings. :thumbup:

      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.
