Got surgery approval. Psych was cancelled twice due to weather, not on my end. I was willing to trudge thru the 20" of snow! Rescheduled for next week. I have the last of my tests on Thursday and Friday. They are doing the stress tests in 2 parts because I can't do the treadmill as a result of back surgery, so taking the needle!!! The HURDLE part is doing it with a broken rib!!! OMG! I must be desperate. I called them and asked them and they said if I can bear it, so can they! haha! I will be wearing my old back brace for support for when I have to get on the treadmill at the end for 5 minutes. UGH! And then it is a waiting game for me. Will see the nutritionist 2 weeks prior for instructions and the week of April 5 is it for me.:blushing:

Wow you are so determined! I was too oh boy when my surgeon gave me a check list of doctors to see with all the test requirements for insurance submission I ripped through that list and got my test results within 2 week or 3 weeks. I really do hope you come through with flying colors but realize that the surgery is major and with that rib healing you must be prepared to endure and be very good to yourself during your recovery. Best wishes. -Lis

      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?
