Sometimes as we go further along in the process we think we are experts... Some of the posts I see sometimes need to come with the following disclaimer... Please follow your doctors orders. I am not a medical expert. Please please please remember we all just share our own stories and experience. But your doctor is the best place to go when requiring any medical advice!!!!

Thank you for saying this! I read a lot of things here too that really need to be discussed with the Doctor before they make a change or do anything different. After reading so much it is easy to see that we all have different plans. And there is a reason our dr's have us on that plan.

Amen! I take some of these things to my doctor and he looks at me like I'm crazy and say just do what I tell you. (LOL) All of our docs are different people and have different beliefs and methods. ALWAYS the best place to go is the one who has your well being in his/her hand.

Very good advice. Our docs are the ones that have the most information regarding our specific case and should be our final sounding board before making any changes to our current plan.

      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.
