That's great! I went alone and I was lonely. I had dr. verboonen in Cancun also. Everything was fine. You only get to see the surgeon for a few minutes before the surgery and a few minutes the next day. Dr. verboonen speaks English well enough. It's the nurses that you communicate with the most and most of then don't speak a lot of English. They are really nice though. Dr. Perez took out my drain and he spoke English really well.

You're welcome. The pain was about like a regular surgery. It did hurt some but I thought it was going to hurt a lot more. They give you pain meds in your IV so that handles the pain. By the third morning I was really ready to leave and the pain was not bad at all. No complications, no nausea, no leaks, nothing bad at all. I've lost 57 pounds in 3 1/2 months.

      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.
