Good luck John on you upcoming surgery. My insurance requires 6 months and I am in month two. I went to two weight loss surgery classes, two support group meetings and just had a Psych evaluation on Friday. I have a nutritionist apt on Oct 15th and a mandatory informational session with the Surgeon on the same date. Then I have to see the nutritionist 3 more times and one more surgery weight loss class. I am not looking to have the surgery approved until February 2014. I will be praying for your success and I will be following you.

      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.
