Hey everyone. So I officially started my journey. I went to a seminar, met with the surgeon, and did the psych evaluation. Has anyone on here gone to this clinic and could give me their opinions. I very nervous but I know I'm doing this for all the right reasons.

Hi there! I'm not going to your clinic, but I share your feelings of nervousness mixed with excitement! I'm ready to get this party started already! Jumped through my last hoop Mon. night when I had my 2nd sleep study for severe anea. DOS is 10/11/12. I've lost 14 lbs. Already (a drop on the bucket)-looking forward to seeing my size go down! Good luck!

Mommyofthree, I went to Barix in langhorn, PA, is that where you are going? Was sleeved by Dr marymor and he was great. I am 7 weeks out. Where are you so far in the process?

I am still waiting for my insurance to approve. Got the psyc avail done. Not going to lie, when I met with the doc, and was asking questions, he pretty much told me not to worry about what he does, we'll, I'm a worrier. Also, this question I didn't ask was, how many sleeves has he done? I know he has done over 1600+ bypass. Glad I found someone in my area

Was this Dr . Marymor? He answered a my questions in detail and was open about his numbers and included two patients who had gotten leaks.

Yes, maybe he was this way because I was the last person and we were there for over 4 hours. Did he say how many he has done and hiw he handled the leaks? Btw, how are you feeling? Im going to try and go to one of the meetings this week. Sorry to bombard you with questions.

      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.
