On My Way Will Be Banded at Eglin



Recommended Posts

About a month ago a saw my PCM (I'm retired military), was scheduled for a seminar which I went to yesterday. I'm going to be banded on Eglin AFB. I went back to work, and recevied a call from mental health, they scheduled my psych eval for tomorrow 13 Aug 10. Haven't been scheduled for diet consult but I think it's next week. After that I have private appt with dr and then on the schedule. There has been no mention of insurance I guess because I'm doing it on base. I'm excited, but now that it is moving so fast I'm getting nervous. I know it's the right move for me. Did anyone else feel this way?

I think most of us have felt that way at one point or another. I am scheduled for surgery on the 31st and I feel that way off and on even though I know it is the right decision for me, I still get nervous. Good luck with your consults. Take care, Wendy

      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?
