So after what seems like an exhausting amount of research. I finally booked my surgery. I booked the special with Dr. Illan at florence Oasis for August 22!

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. There were a number of Doctors that I considered, but felt like I couldn't commit for one reason or another. I really liked Florence over INT or Mi Doctor, but wasn't feeling like some of the other surgeons were a right fit for me.

I'm happy to have made it through to the "next step" in this process. I've booked my flights. Now I need to pick up some recovery items and I'll be all set to go!!

Feel free to add your experience with Dr. Illan if you have any...

Um, I'm sorry I missed this....but you won't regret it! I posted my experience right after I had surgery if you feel up to looking for it. I love, love, love Dr. Illan. His coordinator, Omar, is amazing and still checks in with me pretty regularly. Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions. :)

I felt like I had amazing care, at all stages.

      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?
