I am curious about your IV filter. Is it to prevent blood clots?

No I took the permanent option it just sounds better to always have that protection

OK. Thanks! I had never heard of that.

My doc always put these inflaters on my legs that inflate and deflate all night. They are supposed to help with clots. I'm a light sleeper so I didn't get much shut-eye during hospital stays. When I got my gall bladder out and got my sleeve, though, the morphine made it so I could sleep anyway.

Three more days! Prayers and good wishes for you!

      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.
