Waiting On Approval



Recommended Posts

My journey started in June 2012 with a seminar. I had my first appointment with the surgeon Aug. 3rd. The month of Aug and Sept were all my psych, nutrition appts, and my medical clearance. I had my educational classes in October. Now I am just waiting to hear about

approval. They sent in my paperwork November 6th and should take 2-2 1/2 weeks for approval. Fingers crossed I can have surgery in the beginning of December. There is no liquid diet in the program, I have lost 9 pounds already and the surgeon would like 6 - 11 pounds more. I have been reading post for awhile and this looks like a good support while going through the motions.

      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.
