How did you feel abt it being put off?? I can imagine it was a disappointment but at least he is concerned about your health. Will you have to restart the 2 week preop diet?

I was very crushed when he showed me the lab report, and I just couldn't understand how it could prevent me from having surgery if I wasn't even aware of it. He said if it had came back a mild case he might do it but there were too many risks involved. I'm okay today though and thankful that he made that choice. No I won't have to resart the 2 week liquid diet, he told me I could eat just to try to make it as healthy as possible so I don't regain any weight and when I have a date set I can go liquid a few days before.

      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.
