In all honesty, I would lay off a little. I understand your excitement but even if you get confirmation today instead of tomorrow, it doesn't mean that you will have surgery a day earlier.

And if I was your case worker, that kind of behavior would possibly make me work slower. It's not like they are dealing with people needing transplants, people with heart failure, newborn babies with health complications, people with cancer etc. - oh wait, THEY ARE! It's not like they are cops sitting around the station eating donuts all day long --- just kidding.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents -- relax, it'll come and you have a lot of time left for anxiety, LOL

I completely understand where you are coming from though.....My information was submitted to my insurance company on Jan. 25th so I called yesterday just to make sure they had received it and the ball was rolling, but I feel like I want to call back everyday just to make sure things are moving along. That would be my little control freak coming out in me though ;) I have decided I will call once a week on Monday to get updated no more or no less then that (cross my fingers) :D but yeah I think we both need to RELAX or we will drive ourselves batty!!!

Good luck to you!

Now that I know they have my info and it's sitting on someone's desk....I will refrain from calling for at least 48hrs!

Thanks for listening to my crazy!

      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?
