Hola!

This is a great forum and Welcome. You will find lots of information here quickly and all personal experiences from all. What better way is there than the experiences of others. WE tell it like it is and you have to take bits and pieces to tailor make it for yourself. Some bad, but mostly good is found here. I believe here on this forum, since all of us have gone through different health issues in our personal lives, there's NO dumb question. We are all learning from each other.

Have fun on this forum. Banded on Aug 6, 2012.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Dr. DiCicco was my assisting surgeon. Do you see him in Zephyrhills? I saw them there a few times but will follow up in their office in Orlando. It's closer to Oviedo where I live. It is a small world! So how are you doing post op?

      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.
