  1. 1. Do you regularly attend monthly support group meetings?

    • Yes, just about every month
    • Yes, but only when I have time
    • No, I do not attend the meetings sponsored by my doctor but I do attend other types of meeting (i.e. weight watchers, overeaters anonymous , etc.)

I'm just wondering how many folks regularly attend the monthly support group meetings sponsored by your doctor?

Do you find them to be helpful?

Why do you or don't you go?

I don't go to the support meeting although they are offered by my doctor. Its a distance thing. Traffic in Northern Virginia is bad and I have kids in grade school to tend to. I use this website as my support group.

E-Girl you are so right! It takes me 45 minutes to get down there, so I am not sure I'll make it to the support groups either! I would like to try to go to one or two though. Congrats on 94lbs!!!

      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?
