Hi, macie!

I was also originally scheduled for September, but had to reschedule because of my husband's travel schedule. I wasn't comfortable coming home alone with no one to help out around the house.

So now I'm set for 10/5/10. I'm nervous and excited all at once. How 'bout you?

BTW - thank you to you and your family for your service to our country. I'm a former Army wife and I understand all the hardships you endure.

Thanks, my husband and I are both retired from AF. It is frustrating when you are trying to schedule work around the changes. Hopefully everything will stay the same now.

My son is in the army and is schedule to be in the field for a month beginning October 15. He is my closest family member and is planning on staying with me for a few days afterwards.

I just got approved yesterday, not I am trying to hurry things along so I can have the surgery before he goes.

      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.
