I don't know if this is the right place but I came to VSGT today to discover I had a message from "nobody" who joined less than 24 hours ago, has no posts, no info about them-nothing. In the message was a link to another message on OH about a "price opportunity" (I am guessing here in the US) with a facility trying to meet an insurance certification requirement offering a limited number of special price VSGs. My first thought was that this was spam and everyone or several ppl got it. My second thought was (if it just came to me) is that someone here wanted to anonymously (for whatever reason ) let me know. I don't know why it would have to be Anon though. Also, I don't know the docs name or the hosp or website of the facility of anything but I am not setting easy with the fact that they (whoever) have not done enough VSGs to already be certified. Furthermore, I am uncomfortable with the fact that since I know none of the above listed identifying info that I can't even look into the doctor. The way I see it I will look into anyone I can afford, just like I did with Mexico doesn't mean I will change my mind but with my family clamoring for me to stay in the states it at least appeases them to know I am looking and if I happen to find a surgeon near by that I can afford and has a good track record and experience all the better. But I don't know if its the fact that it came to me anon or the lack of any identifying info for the facility doing this or both but I am just uneasy about it.

Did anyone else get it??

      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.
