Hello everyone,

My name is Ashlei. I have just started my process to be able to get the gastric sleeve done. I have my class on the 9th of July and I meet my surgeon on the 22nd of July. Can anyone help me with what to expect when I meet the surgeon for the first time. I'm kind of nervous but yet really excited.

Consider buying "The Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve" or just explore the site. You'll find LOTS of good information! Welcome to you!

I'm new to this as well. My name is Flo, I'm old school so I'm way out of my comfort zone. My surgery is 12 days out. I'm scared and excited at the same time, so much that I'm making myself sick. I've been reading post for about 4 months now and decided to double Dutch my way in now. My starting weight is 279, my goal is 150 and I've got a apple bottom that I'm not expecting to go away, but here's to hope.

      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.
