My Doc Asked Me To Be A Mentor.



Recommended Posts

I think you will pass lots of good fundamental ideas to them. everyone needs something to hold onto in the beginning. once they become more confident they will mold to their style.

b52, I talked at one seminar in december. I didnt like it, only because I dont like to talk in front of a big crowd. But I think you would be good. you have done amazing.

You sound just like me! I noticed that you are in Denver, I wonder if we have the same doctor. Like you, I tried being on the panel at one of the seminars, and hated it because I hate speaking in crowds ~ but I am considering being a "bariatric buddy" too ~ one on one sounds much better! Congratulations on the invite! Good job!

aahhh beer. I would love to try one, but I am so scared to. I miss a cold beer every once in awhile.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! We will see what all it entails soon and if I can fit the bill. I am in denver and went to Dr. Snyder. ;)

      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.
