First Appointment on Wednesday 9/11/13



Recommended Posts

Ok I know that this visit is only to go over my insurance however I will get my other appointments scheduled at the same time. I am so excited. It's a good thing that I work a 12 hour hospital shift at work tomorrow or my mind would be way more consumed. I also gave my director a heads up about my possible surgery. Amazingly she asked me for info re lap band for herself as she has been looking in to it. I am really looking forward to this happening ASAP. I am nervous and excited all at the same time.

First appointment was fine this visit was insurance and my health history with their LPN. Next Friday is my consultation visit with the surgeon and I will get my surgery date. Then the following Monday is my Dietician visit (I will get my Lap Band Bible) and I will have my Psych eval. This is actually going really smoothly!!

Ohh ok, I went for my first appointment on 9/5 same thing went over insurance n all the different options and what other clearance I need... My insurance requires a 6 month diet( I been doing weight watchers since June so that's 4 months and hopefully they will count the weigh ins at the dr office from prior months) I'm hoping to have surgery be4 Christmas so I can use my personal days that I have to take anyways be4 the yr is over. Also a psych. Eval all schedule the first week of oct. I go see the dietician 9/27 the day after I get back from Jamaica ... Good thing too cuz I want to enjoy my vacations n last days of drinking n eating lol but I'm sooo excited for the next steps!!

Enjoy Jamaica I am jealous but I live in FL so summers are always hot here and nice beaches as well. But not the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean though.

      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?
