Well, I am new here and and my name is Ted and I have recently started my journey to taking control of my body instead of my body controling me. I have met with the surgeon, gotten all my medical records sent to surgeon and met with my cardiologist for his blessing. The Surrgeon has filed all information with insurance and just waiting on them now. I am having a PET scan monday on my heart, just as a precaution from my Cardiologist. I am hoping for everything to fall in place around mid July. I am very excited about the things to come. Should be a fantastic journey!

      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.
