Well,

Today's the day of my very first appointment. I have been reading on this site for about 2 months now and have heard so many nice things about my doctor, Dr Deol.

I am sooo nervous, scared, happy and excited.... I am hoping things go qiuckly, smooth and as painless as possible (doubt it though) none the less, today is the first step to my happier life!

Will write later on tonight (hopefully)

Thanks for everything, this board has been like a best friend, always there when you need them!

Hi Bailey,

I just talked to Rebecca today and have my surgery date---April 12th. I know that everything will fall into place for you, too.

Let me know how it went with Dr. Deol and what appointments you need before you can schedule your surgery.

Just think, you and I may well be banded by summer!!

Take care!

Greta

      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?
