One Step Closer



Recommended Posts

I completed my 3 month supervised diet last week (7 months of WW documented last year, but had a 4 week gap, thus the need to complete another 3 months :cool: - insurance requires one 6 month or two 3 month supervised diets, within the last 2 years).

I have my: Cardiology Clearance letter, Colonoscopy report, Mamo & PAP report, Letter of Medical Necessity, DEXA scan, Psychological evaluation, Split sleep study (come to find out I have mild sleep apnea) and my EGD was done today.

This afternoon I received a call informing me that my paperwork has been turned over for submission to my insurance company. YIPPIE! :lol0:

I?m so excited to be one more step closer. Hopefully, I will receive approval in the next few weeks, then have a date scheduled. I would love to have the surgery in early November in order to have a jumpstart into the new year!

Best of luck to all scheduled next week. I?ll be thinking about you. Can?t wait till I become a ?sleeve sista?!

Hugs,

JoAnne

      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?
