Hi everyone. I saw my surgeon yesterday and my operation is scheduled for 12th November. I have a question. The company I am paying to do the VSG for me provide a years aftercare. Is that enough? Thank you

Yes this cite has helped me a ton. I'm 1 year out and it goes by fast. Down 100 lbs. Best decision I've ever made.

Thanks, Candice. I called the company today explaining my concern and they assured me that although my monitoring would finish after a year I would be free to contact them with any concerns/questions whenever I liked. That seems fair to me. Good luck for the 30th and keep me posted :)

      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.
