1/2 way through 6 months



Recommended Posts

I am new to the boards, but I have been lurking. I am hoping that my insurance will approve me. I didn't decide on having surgery lightly. I am half way through the six month process, and it seems like forever. I have had my first appointments and my insurance approved the additional psych testing. I hope it is a good sign.

I have a blog, and I plan to blog my way through the process. I am an English teacher and writing is cathartic for me. On my last post, I explained why I made this decision.

I am interested in hearing any advice to keep me on track until the end of March when I am done with the six month doctor supervised "diet."

      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?
