I just came from my 2nd appt and I was given the tentative surgery date of August 5th. I'm SOOO excited and just can't wait. Tomorrow I have my NUT appt, On April 2 I have my endoscopy appointment which is just the initial visit but things are moving. My PCP has already given my referrals for the echo and my pelvic exam so I don't have much to go and I'm hoping everything comes out good and my insurance approves it all so that way we can keep that Aug 5 surgery date

Pelvic exam??????????????

Yes my doctor requires an abdominal pelvic ultrasound. I don't have my gallbladder but they look for any abnormalities in the gallbladder, fibroids etc. anything that might cause a complication for surgery

Yes he's really thorough. I wish he didn't as I'm always afraid that the more tests can actually bring about an issue but at the same time I get to check things I normally wouldn't. So hopefully all goes well!!

      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?
