Started my journey( a little long)



Recommended Posts

I went to the info session today. I didnt learn anything new but it is required. I filled out the information form and will be contacted in 5 days to have a consult. They are having success in getting approval for surgery. I got lost finding the conference room and and asked directions and it turned out it was the surgeon. He shook my hand and actually lead me there. Seemed like a nice guy. His associate did the seminar. So we will see where it all goes from here.:)

Welcome, and congratulations on taking your first step. . . in no time you'll be here with the rest of us . . . Good luck and all the best in your journey! I had mine done on Dec 29th and haven't regretted it at all. . . in the beginning it's weird, but that soon goes away as soon as you learn whats what. . . .

      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.
