Just Starting On My Journey



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am just starting on this journey. In two weeks I had supposed to go to an initial group meeting at the hospital for bariatric surgery (a required starting point for the doctor). I can't wait to get moving on my weight loss journey. :)

Congratulations on starting your journey! It's exciting and scary at the same time. I just completed my insurance requirements and am waiting for approval. This has been a great place for information and support.

Hello, I go to my consultation next month on the 18th. Best of luck to you, I know that I'm a bit hesitant. I was actually on the waiting list for a whole year last year when they called and I decided not to go through with it. After talking to a few friends and reading these posts I can say that I'm much more confident this time around than I was the last. I am ready to shed this weight...it hasn't been easy on me or my children but I know that the reward in the end is going to be well worth it! Good luck to you....

      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?
