I have made a few posts but wanted to update and say that I have made the decision to go forward with the surgery and I have a date! February 8th.

I am excited and nervous. 2010 will be an exciting year for me.

I feel very fortunate that I have insurance that will pay 100% of the costs, I know from what I have been reading not everyone is so lucky. Without that I don't think I would be able to do it. I will turn 50 in April, so what a great early birthday gift for myself!

Thank you to everyone who posts - I have learned so much, and gotten so much useful information from reading through the posts.

Congrats! Your date will be here before you know it! It's awesome that your insurance will cover you 100%!

BTW, to send a pm...click on the person's name & select send person private message (pm).

Go to the UserCP at the top of the page and it will bring you to a column on the left and from there you can find the private messages. You can type in Susan's name and send her a pm from there.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

Oh I have done it that way too. I do it that way if I don't have that person's messages in my inbox. If I have already pmed with somebody, I just go in my inbox and hit reply. It is way easier actually to just click on their name in a thread.

      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.
