Hi Everyone. I have spent some time this morning reading your stories and am so happy for all of you, progressing/reaching your goals. My surgery was Monday 9/12 and I am really ready for this part of the journey. I started with my seminar in 12/2010 and had to do a 6 month supervised diet before getting approval. My biggest fear is that this will not ultimately work. I hope that with the support of all of you here I will be able to get past the hurdles and stumbling blocks that I know are ahead of me.

I also got sleeved on 9/12. Mixed feelings and really hoping that this will work for good! Unfortunately I have not found a support group in my area and this site is wonderful! Thank you all for posting your comments and experieces.

I'm not a in person support group type of person although my surgeon's office has one. It's just not who I am. I know I can get what I need from a good online group and not have to take the time away from my family.

      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?
