Hi Lisa! I have an appointment to visit my surgeon on July 17th. I am a cash patient so I won't have to go through all the steps that most folks do. I will have the test where they put the camera in my stomach and if that is good then I'm good to go for surgery. I'm excited and nervous at the same time!!

Congratulations to everyone that are going to have surgery next week. The surgery is not bad. Remember to walk as much as you can the first few days. It will definitely help to minimize some of the discomfort caused by gas.

      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?
