Starting Life Over, In May!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I have just found this site and am really excited to meet and talk with you all! My last appointment for my insurance requirements is April 20! I'm getting really excited and nervous! My surgery is scheduled for May 17, well as long as my insurance cooperates! So far they have! I have been over weight as long as I can remember. Ive struggled with fad diets and quick fixes to no avail. I've finally come to the conclusion that this is the right decision for me after years of pondering. I can't wait to meet new friends to help me along this journey. B

How exciting! Did your unsurfaced cover you or are you self pay? If insurance,did you have to meet any requirements?

      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?
