Hello,

My name is Kat. I am 35, married, and a mom of two. I have been dealing with weight issues since 1st. grade. Up and down. I finally made the decision to have the surgery because I have several health problems and am in constant pain. So I am hoping that losing this weight will reduce it. Anyways I am looking forward to getting to know you and hope we can all support eachother. They say that support is one of the most important keys to keeping the weight off.

Thanks for listening,

Kat

Oh I forgot to say where I was in the process. I am waiting for approval. I have all my testing and clearances out of the way. I am just hoping for and approval. I am trying to bpas the mandatory 6 month weight watchers program because I have trie it several times and just can't be there regularly because of my disabilitys. Hopefully they will listen to the doctors recomendations.

Welcome! I didn't find this site until after surgery so u r already one step ahead of the game. Waiting for approval is hard, but if u have to end up doing the six months, I did, it's not impossible. I am 5 weeks post op and the first two are the worst and then light appears at the end of the tunnel. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for ur approval!

      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?
