4 Days away from Surgery



Recommended Posts

After many years of being overweight I finally decided to start taking the necessary steps required by my insurance to pay for it. I found my surgeon because one of the requirements from the insurance was the surgery had to be perfomed at a Bariatric Center of Excellence.. Once I met with him and the staff I knew I made the right decision.. I did my initial visit in February 2013 and now have a scheduled surgery date of May 14, 2013..

I am super excited and ready for my new life..

      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.
