Brand New And Getting Impatient



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I'm so glad I found this app. I started the process in late August. I've just completed my last test (the endoscopy) and I'm so ready to go. Year-end is critical at my job so waiting for a surgery date has me in knots. Looking fwd to all the mutual support! My stats: 5'5", 234lbs, 34 yrs old

Welcome...:) can you schedule your surgery date to better fit in with your work schedule? If you can't I would not worry about it. I believe you can be out 6 wks on disabiltiy but then again it depends on your insurance and state etc.

Thank you, all. Well that was last night. Today I got the call and I'm scheduled for Nov 13th. How quickly things turn around. @BBdoodle, that's what I'm trying to do. They'll just have to deal. I have to put myself and my health first for once.

Well if that isn't just the coolest thing ever. Great phone call today. So much for impatient. I think you can handle this. I am so happy for 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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
