This is my last month of my supervised diet, with the dietitian and I will meet with my surgeon next month, could someone please help me out by giving me some question to ask him. Let me say this, the closer I get to this, it seem like I am going blank, it’s like I knew all the questions I were to ask three or four months ago and now that I am a month away I can’t remember nothing. Does that mean I am getting nerves? Because I thought I had it all together, LOL. I will appreciate any question you could think of, it just might jog my memory to help me remember mines.

Thank you, so much for your help in advance.

Read midwesterngirl's blog. She was the main source of pertinent information for me. She has listed all the things that you should be concerned about with your surgery.

I'm sorry, she changed her name to wasabubblebutt. Don't ask me why. So now her blog is http://wasabubblebutt.blogspot.com/ I used everything I could from her store of knowledge and her willingness to help those seeking surgery from reputable surgeons. She was invaluable to me. I know that she is going through some trying times, but email her if you can't find what you need in her blog.

Thank you so much.

      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.
