Hey everyone, Im new here and finally decided it was time to post after trolling here for a couple of months.Got my surgery date last week which is June 30, and just got a call from insurance company saying I was approved!! Im very excited and cant wait to start my new journey.Just a little about myself, lm a 43 year old male 6'0", sw-336, cw-317, gw-170.My wife is doing it also and her surgery date is July 7, so its going to be an interesting summer to say the least! One question I do have is has any other couples had it at the same time and how did it work out gor you? Thanks to everyone who posts here and shares their experiences with us newbies, its been a wealth of info!!!

Welcome!

There are a number of couples here who are taking their sleeve journey together or at staggered times, so I suspect you'll get input on that in the near future.

Please jump right in into the conversational fray around here. There's plenty of great information and advice to be had from a variety of perspectives.

Don't be alarmed if you run across a spat here and there. Like any big family, there can be passionate disagreements about the things we care about, but we're all there for each other when help, support, sympathy and cheers are needed.

Good luck on the upcoming surgery!

      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.
