So....today started with me calling my insurance company. They told me they had received my paperwork for pre-authorization and that I had been approved. So - I hang up. Shaking from excitment and fear all mixed into one. I realize that I have forgotten to ask the woman at the insurance a question. I wait a while and call back. The woman then tells me that she was wrong. The Auth # she had was old and from a cancelled pre-authorization and that she had not received any of my new paperwork. I went from high to the lowest of lows in just hours. I was so upset. I knew I was still going to get this done, but when was the big question! So.....here I am sitting at work waiting for 5 o'clock to arrive and my cell phone rings. It is my surgeons office. I have been APPROVED....they want me to get my endoscopy next week and have surgery by the end of THIS MONTH. OK....now I am on complete emotional overload. My idea was mid next month....this month?? I guess I should join the February group right? hehe It is all so real now.....I cant believe this is happening!!!

      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?
