So excited! I finally made a decision and booked with dr Ponce on sept 27th. I figured I better book it soon before I chickened out! Lol! This is something I have been wanting/needing to do for a long time. I've done tons of research and really feel like this is the right thing for me. Now if I can just convince my friends and family that think I'm crazy!!! ????

I'm so glad to have helped you... mcwestfam!! Slowly over time your family will see that this was the best decision you could've ever made.. my son still says but you cheated.. and i just tell him who cares.. i'm healthier now and happier, besides it's like any other tool, i'm doing now what i should've been doing because i have my tool eating smaller portions and staying away from bad food..My dad still thinks i was stupid but i've come to realize i don't care what anybody else thinks not ever in my wildist dreams could i have made this come true and i'm loving every second of it!!

      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?
