Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the site. Waiting for Insurance approval, and I'm so Excited. Been trying to get my chewables and Protein powders figured out, there are so many options. Been looking for support groups in Vegas and can't find any, so if anyone knows of any please reply.

Lastly if anyone has any tips for pre-op and post-op that would be helpful, please share with me :thumbup:

I LOVE Vegas!!! Unfortunately I'm not from there, I'm from the frozen arm pit of Idaho :blushing:

But, DH and I will be in Vegas next weekend. I can hardly wait! He's never been there but I visited several times. I am literally counting down the hours.

I am not banded yet either. I dropped off all the paperwork and regular doctor history to the New U center at the hospital today so I'm crossing my fingers!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and welcome!

Hi Denise, my name is Annie. Congratulations on getting your surgery! I can't wait to get my Insurance approval, I'm SO ready. I go to Dr. Umbach's office. How are you feeling? Which Hospital did you go to? Did you have to stay overnight? Did you have to join the gym?

Hope to hear from you soon!:blushing:

      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.
