Found out today that I am approved!!! Yay, meeting with my surgeon on Friday to hopefully set a date that will be soon. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time but I can't wait to just start feeling better. I have my list of questions to ask but just wondered if anyone had anything they wished they had asked that they didn't think of at the time?

Good luck. Seems like the 6 month pcp visits that I had to do flew by but then once they submitted all my stuff time slowed to a crawl. Took me just a little over a week to get approval so I hope yours is a quick approval.

      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?
