I too was on the fast track. I got all of my additional clearances (vascular, hematologist) and had my NUT and psych evaluation. ( Both were one appointment deals as I was told I am very prepared) Then it was decided I needed to have a pulmonary evaluation as I have had PEs (blood clots in lungs) in the past, as recently as this past May. I was not able to schedule in with the pulmonologist until 9/9. I basically had to sit on my hands for 4 weeks and do nothing, which has been difficult. I am hoping to get this clearance quickly so the paperwork can be submitted to my insurance. After that, the REAL wait begins! LOL I am staying as positive as I can because I know this is the path I need to be on...

      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.
