So. Here is an update on where I stand with getting this surgery done. I started this process in early april and am finally almost done. I have a weigh in appointment on Tuesday just to show that I am continuing to lose a little bit of weight, then after that I have a nicotine test (my final one) on Wednesday and once I receive the results from that I can schedule my appointment with the surgeon hopefully the 2nd or 3rd week of august (if she doesn't decide to take a vacation) and then once I meet with her we schedule the surgery date. Im sooo excited. I've had a couple minor setbacks but nothing that has brought me down. Im trying to stay positive and remember that this is going to change my life for the better. I can't wait! Hopefully I pull a good number on the scale on Tuesday. My dietician wanted me to lose 5 lbs in a week to prove that im doing what they ask....which of course I am.

      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?
