Not sure how your doctor is about the gain but mine was actually not surprised when people gained... his response in group was "well, if you were capable of doing it ALL on your own, you wouldn't exactly need this surgery, would ya"

Plus you have health reasons .... Talk to your Dr. :) I'm sure he/she will be supportive!

Magee is one of the bet places and the best Dr.'s. I a, sad 2 say that July 13 will b my last day of working there. But my dr is there and I am not leaving them. I will b working on the 2nd also. Would ur pcp let u come if u tell him u knw people that went 2 magee? My pcp also wanted me 2 go 2 a if fret dr. But I didn't knw any1 tht went 2 him so I told him I picked a dr. From Magee and due 2 the fact I alo work there he was ok with that.

      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.
