Welcome! Nice to meet you! There is a lot of good info in this forum. Enjoy the threads and ask additional questions if you need to. There should be a January group that was started for all of those having surgery in Jan. I am from the Dec. group having had my surgery on the 4th. Luckily, after a few minor bumps I am doing quite well. Do your research, it is only a tool, not a miracle. Just being honest! You have not chosen the easy way out!

      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.
