Hello Nicole!!! My surgery date is May 8th. Im excited but scared now that I finally have a date. I have no pre OP diet as of yet. I see my doctor on the 2ND. I'll only have six days after that. Not sure what six days of dieting will do before surgery.

I meet with my nut tomorrow and they said that I would be on 2 weeks liquids and that I will need to purchase my Meal Replacements tomorrow in case my insurance is really quick approving me, which is not likely but I'm still hopeful. I look for my surgery to be the middle or end of May. Not looking forward to those liquids though, but I know it will be worth it in the long run!

Good luck to you both. My day has finally arrived, surgery today at 11.30am. The time goes quick. I'm a little nervous, but ready.

Hi Nicole

Welcome to the site. I completed everything today and am waiting for insurance approval. I was hoping for June but now it could be July.

      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?
