Sounds like you are not ready to commit yet.

To the surgery? Committed. To a surgeon? Working on it.

I don't know anything about those surgeons, and I think it would be hard to choose long distance! It was so important to me to have a surgeon (and the practice) that "got it" beyond the surgery - I needed the long term support! Many say they offer it, but when I found the doc I went to, I knew this was what I was looking for.

Suggest thinking about your most important criteria and what it is you are really looking for... then you will know it when you find it!

I feel the same way. Committed to the surgery.. The patient coordinators with their own agendas are becoming a pain my a**. I think dr Lopez and dr Ponce both seem to be good. I'm sure you'll be fine choosing either one. I'm leaning on dr Lopez now in puerto Vallarta.

Amanda I am using Dr Ponce and I feel so confident in that decision. You should do it with him.

      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.
