Hello all! My name is Sheri and I am 31 years old, single mother of 2. I have been a member on this site since October, but I have never posted anything. So here goes.... In October I have my first appointment with Dr. mora and started the 6 months weigh in deal. I completed that in April and have been waiting on insurance approval since then until yesterday. I finally got approved yesterday! (I called them weekly to get an answer, not good at waiting). So now all I am waiting for is a surgery date. Hoping it will be done before the end of this month. I will try to get a pic posted soon, I really want a good before & after pic for myself. I also want to use the before pic to help me stay focused on my goal and not become side tracked. I have wasted to many years (about 11 or twelve) being over weight and unhappy about my body. It's time to get healthy, enjoy the rest of my thirties and start dating.

Good luck and best wishes to everyone on their weight loss journey!!!

Welcome to posting, Sheri ! I think it's good that you've been in 'think' mode for a good period of time. You'll be so committed once you have the surgery !

      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?
