Ok this sounds silly but here it is. I have an initial appt set up with Dr Barker on Thursday, but am able to attend a seminar for Dr Nicholson tonight. I feel guilty about doing this for some reason. I know I shouldn't be. I deserve to have the best dr my insurance will cover.

I say go to the surgeon you want as long as he is covered by your insurance. He would not feel guilty if he had to deny you for some reason. Plus this is your body, not his you do what want, and don't think twice about it.

It may be worth attending the seminar tonight, if only to get more information. I have spoken with three surgeons so far, and they have all given different info and had various advice to give. The more opinions you can get the better in my opinion! xx

I went to the seminar last night and really happy that I did. I found the person I want to go with for my surgery. Now the long process of getting it approved through insurance.YIKES One step at a time. I am happy with my decision though.

      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.
