Hello Ms. Dunn. My first appointment is tomorrow (8-8-13). I'm so excited. I have so many questions and I can't wait to get this thing started. Good luck with your appointment.

I go for my seminar in less than two weeks, then will have my first appointment. My insurance doesn't require the 6 months wait so I'm hoping mine will come quickly!

You're fortunate that your insurance does not require a 6 month diet. I have 5 months to go and it seems like forever. Good luck!

I was not even happy about 3 months and now that I've gotten started there is so much to do!!! I feel like I don't have enough time! Lol I was worried for weeks about having to wait all that time and now I'm stressed about trying to get all the requirements done. I was even thinking about going to Mexico just to get it done faster and now I'm so glad I didn't! 3 months is a short time to completely change my eating habits and I want to learn all I can for the future. I'm actually glad I have to wait now just to give myself time to adjust. I am going thur a very good doctors office that has their own requirements before surgery to help people be successful in the future and I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful team helping me:) Your 6 months will fly bye just that that time to really work on changing you habits and developing better ones!

      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?
