Yesterday morning I had my EGD test. I really didn't expect this to be as hard as it was. Just an overall bad morning, first they call and say my surgeon who I've been seeing and comfortable with was busy and they've found a replacement if I can come RIGHT NOW. Who rushes a patient to a surgery or procedure, I mean I was still processing the fact that I was going through this procedure. I get there and by the time I sit down in the lobby there saying come on back. They did the prep work in what had to be record time and the next thing I know the Dr. asked if I had any question and before I could even anwser I was out. Next thing I remember is sitting at home and my new puppy jumping on my back. Really makes me scared about the whole procedure because some as simple as a EGD has me in such pain. At lease i'm at my half way point of the 90 day wait and the only thing left the psych. test which I had to reschedule and one more meeting with my Nut and then hopefully a July surgery. Sorry that was so long :(

      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.
