Well its been awhile since I have posted on here. A lil fill in for those who are new to reading about my surgery. I was going to Carle close to my house and almost finished there just had a few more tests to do then they would have submitted to insurance. Right before I got those tests done I found out because of where I worked I had to go to Springfield IL to have the surgery done if I wanted my insurance at the time to pay for it. Mind you that Springfield is 2+ hours away from me, but after losing my job and insurance I could go back to my original doc to have the surgery done. So I have had all my tests done and just waiting to get the results of my Psych eval. to be able to submit to insurance just called this morning and the office said it would be yet another week before they might hear anything so at this point I am at a stand still. Hopefully I will be able to start my new life soon I can not wait to be able to.

You have made it so far! The waiting is the hard part. Once you are approved (and you will be!) time will FLY!!! Good luck to you!

      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?
