Hi All,

I will be having surgery May 25th. My approval went by easily and quickly. The clinic didn't expect it to be so easy and they have drug their feet waiting for approval. I had faith that my ins would follow their policies and it would be quick. So here I am and don't know what time of day my surgery will be and feeling somewhat unprepared. I see the doctor for the pre op tomorrow and hope that will help.

My husband has to work while I am in surgery. A friend will pick me up. What do you all think about that? I've never had surgery pretty much alone, but I don't have other options.

Looking forward to getting this over with and moving on to the next chapter.

I am scheduled for May 25th too! It's going to be a great day in May! My approval went pretty quickly too-my first ever doctor appointment was April 7th and a little over amonth later I'll be in surgery!

I actually thought about having my husband just drop me off. I am still not sure. I know I can absolutely do the surgery on my own and I figure why should he just sit int the waiting room for hours and hours-then I go to recovery after that. I am not sure if I should justtell him to drop me off and since I live an hour away I would probably just let him pick me up the next day. So no I don't think it's odd at all. I think you'll probably be out of it the first half of the day anyway.

Good luck with everything!!

      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?
