Ok waiting in the waiting room today was nerve racking for me. My leg was shaking in the waiting room and that NEVER happens to me. I met with the Insurance Coordinator who thanked me for faxing my letter of med necessity and 6 months of weight loss with Dr ahead of this visit.

My next appt is 9/20 w/ Dr Ache (this is when I get my surgery dated.

and then 9/23 with dietician and Psych

One down, good going. Don't fret over the process. It's definitely annoying, but don't let it be anxiety provoking. You'll get there, one step at a time :)

I have never felt like that before or at least not since I was a teenager. So excited! My Consultation is 9/20/13 next Friday and I get my surgery date then. On 9/23/13 I meet with the dietician and do my psych eval. Back to back hopefully. So Surgery date TBA next week. It will be on a Thurs due to my insurance coverage better for me at one location.

Everthing will be fine. You have jump through the hoops, the surgery is next- one minute your awake next minute your banded. Everyone has a bit of nerves.

      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.
