I know I don't have room to complain but just need to vent for a minute. I've gone through all my requirements (have been working on it for months now)...I finished my last requirement last Thursday and confirmed yesterday that the Dr. sent his letter to my drs. Now my file has to go through a final review with the "panel"....and that was supposed to happen today.....but my drs office is horrible about returning calls and communicating with me. I presume they're busy and I get that but I'm soooooo tired of doing everything I'm supposed to and then not having feedback. I know its just a matter of time at this point....I've got my insurance approval and all the sign offs from everyone. I have no reason to think I won't be approved unless I don't pass my preop.....and I have NO clue what that involves at this point. I'm really trying to get this surgery in this year as my insurance is changing next year....just feeling so discouraged at this point....hurry up and wait......sorry, just feeling very down tonight for some reason....its all good and I know I need to be patient....just wish someone was advocating for me at this point :) Thanks for listening

Really all you can do is wait, that s what really sucks. At least you have several good points that are working in your favor. Hopefully the ball will start rolling for you very soon. Sometimes waiting can be a good thing. If you are at the end of hoops you should have good news. Keep us informed. I was tired of waiting and as my surgery date approached I was still tired. I feel that it happen at the right time. Now the wait for surgery is over and the weight loss wait begins.

      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?
