My Journey Begins!



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Eboni. I'm 30 years old and I have been overweight all my life. I have made numerous attempts to have the surgery over the past 5 years. And finally it seems my dreams will be coming true in the next three months. I am married with two boys 9 & 4. My worst nightmare is to die young and leave my family.

So today I did blood work with my pcp. I also made appts to mt nutritionist and the psychiatrist for the 8th & 10th of January. I'm trying to keep myself busy. I know what I want and the surgery is it. From there I make an appt with my surgeon. They have my insurance info. So hopefully after the new year I should be on the fast track to surgery. No pre diet with my insurance. Thank God!!!!

      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?
