Sleeve scheduled for 1/27...



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Laura. I am a newbie to the site. I have decided, after failing with all of the "fad diets", to have the gastric sleeve procedure done. I am 5'2" and starting at 238. I am somewhat nervous and anxious all at the same time. My pre-op visit is tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Jan 27th.

Hey! That's my sleeve date as well. I think that makes 5 of us now for the 27th.

What surgeon are you seeing?

      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.
