Finally went to seminar today!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I finally went to the info. session today. I really liked the surgeon, he seemed very confident and sure of himself, which is a characteristic I really want in someone operating on me. The surgery coordinator was also at the seminar, and she said she would be calling me tomorrow to schedule and appt. with the surgeon for next week. The coordinator said that I would have a surgery date the day of my first appt. I am worried, yet excited at the same time. Wish me luck.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
