Referred to a surgeon



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow I meet the surgeon the gastrologist referred me to. They were when I made the appointment on what to expect. They were confusing on what is really going to happen tomorrow they received my endoscopy results so I guess we will meet, talk an then file paperwork to the insurance company and then play the waiting game. At least I am taking baby steps right? I hope my insurance will cover this. I don't think I can do another diet alone but I feel miserable at this weight.:biggrin::unsure::lol:

I would love to hear how it goes for you. I am in the same spot with insurance and hoping for them to give it a "go". I have been researching lap-band® for years and just now have coverage of any type. If I am turned down then I guess I will go back on the to-yo train. I want to be healthy and comfortable in my own body, but I also want to be a Momma, my clock is ticking super loud. I am 36 will be 37 end of May. Well anyways its nice to know I'm not alone. Good luck I will send out good mojo for you. :)

      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.
