Just joined tonight! So much good information and advice on here! I am thrilled I found this :-) still lots to read.

I am just starting my WLS journey! So far I have had first appointment with my surgeon and had my endoscopy procedure this past Friday. Next week I see the dietitian for the first time and the psych doctor. I look forward to posting and sharing information and experiences!

Happy New Year 2013!

      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.
