Hi all. I have been lurking on these boards for sometime now. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, it has given me a certain peace of mind in going through the decision process. I have finally committed and set a date. I will be getting sleeved by Dr. Kelly on August 10th. I would love to hear from any other patients who will be there at that time.

If mine were alive I definitely would have taken her!! I was lucky to have two girls I met online there with me :-)

I was nervous that she wouldn't go with me bc she has had a couple of back surgeries and traveling is hard on her. But so very thankful I have her going with nothing like taking your best friend!

I was telling Jen today that I would jump at the chance at going with someone if they didn't want to go alone. Good luck to you all, you chose a great surgeon!

LOLO- yeah! I am so thankful! We have a buddy! We will have to keep in touch during our preparation.

Cathy- you are too awesome offering that, I have got confirmation that my mom is going to be able to go. If not I would be on you.... :)

      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.
