Recommended Posts

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while and want to say that y'all helped me to decide to do go forward with the sleeve.

I had my psych eval and surgeon's consult both yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for 08/26. I'm kinda freakin' out but I got this.

Thanks for sharing your stories and your experiences they are a tremendous help to those of us just starting on this trip!

Debbie

FINALLY someone from northern MS!! I couldn't figure out where you all were lurking! I suspect we may have the same surgeon (Wagner) because I had my consult and got my surgery date yesterday as well. I'm a week before you -August 19th- and am excited and petrified at the same time (first surgical anything). Praying that all goes well and keep y'all posted.

Lurking is right! I've been lurking in all the forums trying to absorb all the info I can. I'm in the same boat as you, first surgery of any kind so I'm scared and excited at the same too. King is my surgeon. Wish you all the best. Please keep me posted on your progress.

      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.
